The PSA vs SGC debate is only pertinent for in the moment ultra modern cards in my opinion. It only matters because, as I stated, were in the moment with it, the product drops and the market is flooded and you can be picky and choosy with what grade you want and what slab you prefer. But once the truly rare and desirable cards dry up, it doesn’t matter. For example, A Ken Griffey Jr, 2002 Topps Pristine Gold Refractor serial numbered out of 70, doesn’t matter if it’s a PSA 9 or an SGC 9, there won’t be any price difference because they are rare, hard to find and don’t pop up for sale often. Similarly 10 years from now there won’t be a price difference between same graded SGC and PSA slab prices when you’re trying to find let’s say a 2021 Gold Prism /10 of a particular player that you’re looking for because there will have been none for sale for the past 3+ or more years and when one does pop up for sale, you’re not gonna care if it’s in a PSA or SGC case because it’s the only one to hit the market in 3+ years and you can no longer be picky and choosy about what slab it’s in. And neither will the numerous other buyers also interested in that same card when it pops up. Obviously the market prefers PSA for ultra modern and if you’re flipping current product then PSA is it, but once the truly rare and desirable stuff has come and gone, and a few years have passed, and there hasn’t been one for sale for 3+ years, the slab, wether a PSA 9 or SGC 9 won’t have a price difference.

I find myself using SGC on almost all cards I’m planning to resell for $15 right now cards have come back to me in as early as 10 days I can quite literally grade a popular modern card, sell it, buy raw on the same card, grade that one and receive it back and sell a 2nd time before my PSA order gets to grading not to mention it cost more at PSA.

2 of my favorite KZreadrs! I will have to disagree with MY experiences with grading. I have noticed and feel that SGC is more lenient at all levels. I have seen it myself, others videos, and eBay auctions. I know my take will not be popular because of all the PSA hate! lol I take great pride with my preview grades vs grades received in my reveal videos. I feel PSA is doing a great job....at least with my submissions. I have seen too many SGC cards that I feel are at least a grade too high with vintage and newer cards. It was actually proved in this video where PSA downgrades because of surface issues and indents but SGC decides to "overlook" these issues and in my eyes over grades the card. How can a 9.5 have surface issues like some of these cards in this reveal? PSA gets such a bad rap for being tough, so people use SGC and get cards that I think are overgraded (not always) so it compounds collectors feelings. I feel too many collectors think THEIR cards are all 10s and 9s and over look the issues on the cards. Im no PSA snob as I do like SGC and hope they do well. Competition is great and needed! littlevictories basically states they grade newer cards easier by one whole grade.....and I really do think the same is true with some vintage. This is one of the reasons they don't command the same prices as PSA. I am sure I will get beat up with my take but I can take it ha ha. I would love to have an honest conversation about this matter.
