I agree on the 58's and the 63's looking better but the 71's I prefer in PSA cause of the black on black thing. The only problem I have is they rattle around (71's) in PSA holders! The card stock from that year seems thinner. You'd think this would be noticeable to PSA and they'd fix it.
<< <i>PSA is more lenient on grading and from what everyone is saying, their slabs demand a premium (for whatever reason). So, let's say you have a NM-MT 1975 Topps Frank Robinson. You can send it to SGC and because of their strict standards it'll get an SGC 88 (worth $5?) or you can send it to PSA and it'll get a PSA 9 (worth $90). Why would you ever send a card to SGC? >>
So this must mean I should be able to go on ebay, buy up SGC 88's at $5 each, crack 'em out, send 'em to PSA, receive PSA 9's and then sell 'em for $90 each.
Wow, that sounds like easy money.
Why didn't anyone else ever think of this brilliant strategy?

I collect my 1978 Topps Baseball cards and my 1984-1996 Don Mattingly cards in PSA holders. I have no intention of selling any of the cards.

Some years ago, I sent about 24 vintage cards to PSA that were previously in SGC holders. ALL 24 came back exactly the same grade....
Just my 14 cents.................
