SGC vs PSA Part 4:Modern Baseball by John Dudley
In honor of the Atlanta Braves triumphing over the nation’s favorite punching bag of a team, we turn back to the diamond this week to investigate how the different grading companies stack up for Modern-Era baseball cards. Collectors have more choices than ever on where to send their cards for grading. Understanding the potential future resale value is the deciding factor for which company to use for most collectors. This series of articles aims to help you get a better picture of how the companies resale values measure up when compared to each other. Previous weeks have examined Ultra-Modern baseball, basketball, and football. For Ultra-Modern baseball, the gap between PSA prices and SGC prices was found to be narrowing. Examining basketball allowed for BGS to be included. Sales of Ultra-Modern basketball cards showed that BGS 9.5 prices were more akin to SGC 9.5 and PSA 9 prices rather than gem mint prices. SGC has a fairly strong reputation in the baseball community, and even stronger amongst those who collect older cards. It is likely that the trends found for Ultra-Modern cards will continue here.

Husky Men Heart Zion? by John McTaggert
When I was kid, I always had to shop in the Husky Department of stores for clothes. When I played Little League baseball my parents, each season, had to go out and buy me a separate uniform from the ones the league provided because they never had sizes that fit me. Which was cool in one respect because when I played for the Yankees in the fourth grade, for example, my uniform was a replica of the Big League players, stitched logo and a button-up jersey, while my teammates had cheesy iron decals.
In short, I was, and still am to this day, in fact, a pretty big fella.
That said, despite being a more rotund than the average Joe all my life, I got a basketball scholarship to play in college, and was offered a baseball one, and enjoyed my 3-plus seasons playing hoops.
What does this all mean, and more important, why do you care about any of this?
I’m getting to that, I promise.
It means my connection to a pair of NBA players, in particular, one long retired and one on a current roster, is stronger than it probably should be for the aforementioned reasons.
And, coincidentally, both of these players are, I firmly believe, a good value in the hobby right now.
