Advice on sending in T206 and others from early 1900s- Update w/ SGC poppage

I have a few T206 cards that I want to send in. Debating between PSA and SGC. I read on here that SGC is pretty strong on T206s, which is why I am considering them.
The best T206 is a Cy Young (glove showing) that's probably a 1.5 or 2. Also have a Mathewson, LaJoie, and a few other cheaper guys. There is a 1915 Cracker Jack Grover Alexander that is probably a 1.5 or 2. Looks real based on everything I read on spotting counterfeits (has a thin stock, somewhat rough feel to the front, no glare when turned under a light, upside down back).
As far as value goes, what level do you think I can submit these under? SGC has a special $12/card, 10 days, value under $500.
Do you think they will take the Alexander under that Special? Or should I just suck it up and spend the extra on a better service for that card?

SGC actually had a T Special, $7/card, 10 day return. So I sent the T206 cards that way. I have another 7 or 8 non T cards that I will send under their $12/card, 10 day special.

Well like I said either way will be good, The sgc holders look great as well. Will be fun to see how they grade.

<< <i>It really shows how pitiful the collector base is for SGC graded cards when you have to come to the PSA boards to ask a question about SGC specials and share your latest SGC submission. >>
I look at this forum as just a sports card forum in general, not just a PSA board. Unopened wax, raw, PSA, SGC, and a bunch of other topics are discussed here.
Obviously PSA has a larger following than SGC. But SGC is right up there for pre-war.

I agree.
