I agree with Sylbry as far as SGC they are most known for vintage cards, PSA/DNA is most worldly known so it really depends on the cards you have.

[yanks12025]

When you say vintage cards what do you mean like ones from 1920's to the 1800's. Would you consider a pete rose one to be vintage.

Vintage is usually defined as pre World War 2.

Thanks for the help
to you guys on a pete rose rookie card you would us PSA but they cost good money. So who would your second choice be to have a pete rose card graded by. SGC or beckett or GAI

SGC (www.sgccard.com) is absolutely the way to go. Been collecting cards for 20 years and SGC is the only one I'd ever use.

I find PSA gets the best dollar, while other grading companies go for less value, even for higher grades. If you cards are worth having graded-authenticated, stick with PSA.

If your cards are not worth paying the price for PSA grading, then they aren't worth having graded anyway.

Now that's Joel's opinion for the day!

I heard Beckett is harder on grading and that they're known for 90's to present. You should look into sgc for your Pete Rose card.


1. 1909-1945 = SGC
2. 1946-1979 = PSA
3. 1980-1985 = BGS

Personally, I dont want to pay the 100.00 dollars for PSA. So I'd use SGC for ANY card
