I just bought a bunch of mid grade vintage SGC I plan to crack and sub to PSA, will post results. From my experience on modern they are equal, SGC being more loosey goosey on centering to BGS though.

I use sgc for my personnal collection and use PSA for cards i'm selling..PSA gets lots more action and higher results then Sgc

Depends on what cards you are talking about.

Pre war..................SGC

50's 60's topps PSA.

Cards look much nicer in the SGC slabs.

Yankees001 · October 6, 2011 2:16PM

I've cracked a few SGC slabs. PSA graded each of them 1-2 grades higher.

I cracked a BVG 8 and PSA gave it an 8.

The issues I subbed were, not the common issues (Topps). I think the type of card is what caused SGC to give each one a lower grade. But who knows.

sgc = pre ww2
psa = post ww2 up until 2000
bgs = post 2000

Personally use SGC

fiveniner · October 7, 2011 1:40AM

They are equal in my estimation.SGC may have stronger grading standards and I like the fact that they do not use qualifiers although if requested neither will PSA.I go with PSA only because of their top shelf reputation in the hobby.They are excellent in promting their produvt than their competitors.

Grading wise, I have no complaints. I don't trust them anymore due to a bad experience I had with them. Going forward I plan to use BGS and PSA only.

illinifan912 · October 7, 2011 3:29AM

tough call. Both have holders that can easily be tampered with

SGC can suck my D

Yankees001 · October 7, 2011 5:13AM

Both are top notch.

Both companies over and under grade things. You can't go wrong with either one. Beckett is the only other grader to trust. All 3 (SGC, PSA and BVG) are consistant.

Just avoid GAI.

Both companies are good... Nuff said

smtjoy · October 7, 2011 5:38AM

A lot depends on what you are planning to do with the cards.

If keeping them in your collection- any of the big 3 are fine- PSA, SGC and BVG, pick who you like based on slab/registry/etc.

If you are grading to sell then I would follow the-

sgc = pre ww2
psa = post ww2 up until 2000
bgs = post 2000

For my personal collection, I use SGC and PSA, I am happy with both but I lean toward SGC if its a toss up.

mexpo75 · October 7, 2011 6:17AM

If looking to sell PSA if wanting for your collection to look at, SGC.

70ToppsFanatic · October 7, 2011 8:10AM

I agree with the comment about GAI. They will slab anything you send them, regardless of
its authenticity.

jackstraw · October 7, 2011 8:20AM

If SGC could just get motivated and tweek a couple things I think they could give
a good run at the top spot.. But they won't because they are content being number
two and refuse to change anything..

fkw · October 7, 2011 11:30AM

SGC blows them away, period!~

Bear48 · October 7, 2011 1:08PM

I've cracked lots of SGCs and submitted them to PSA. I'm nearly always satisfied (and have been pleasantly surprised a few times too).

SGC is less filling.

natetrook · October 7, 2011 2:33PM

PSA tastes great!

celesterussell · October 8, 2011 1:23AM

SGC and PSA are now probably about equal so far as grading is concerned. ESPECIALLY lately. The "older" flips housed much stronger cards. The new grading system has led to cards being overgraded, almost to the point of being laughable . IMO.

Psa vs Sgc ?
