New SGC slabs & more...

https://www.sgccard.com/index.aspx Digital grading??? Not sure what they mean about “imprinting”? “We used scanned video effects to demonstrate how a baseball card would be analyzed, imprinted, stored and maintained in the SGC achieve system.” |
I knew it!!!
More color labels :eek::eek: @ Leon: When do we get Net54 hoodies? |
Those new labels are horrendous. I hope they aren't really going there.
|
Wow, that's a really expensive way to jump the shark.
|
I encourage everyone to read the entire page. I think a lot of people reading this are getting caught up on the cosmetic changes but there are a ton of potentially exciting changes and innovations.
|
Ive read the whole page and I’m personally not a fan of the changes or the redesign, but hopefully I’m in the minority and the changes work out for them.
|
I am not hung up on the labels and the cosmetic changes as others may be. What excites me, if I am reading this correctly is that they are digitally scanning all graded cards and will have that available on their database? Did I read more into the digital scanning portion or am I just assuming that is what is going to happen.
I think this change will be good for them and hopefully give PSA a run for their (and our) money. I am looking forward to seeing what happens here. |
Really?
Wow. This is funny. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.
So we are now told that SGC is finally going to fix "The Problem" "In the 150 years since the first baseball card was produced, no company had ever developed a trusted brand platform across the various age collectors. The world of card selling, buying and trading was filled with rip-off artists and fraudulent business men taking advantage of a lack of technology and proven auditing systems." Fact 1: 15 years ago I was sold $10,000 worth of altered, re-glossed, trimmed, re-colored baseball cards by Gary Moser and Dave Forman. I discovered that when I sent the cards to PSA for grading. PSA clearly delineated the doctoring that was performed on each card. Fact 2: I never got a penny back from either of these men, although Mr. Forman has tried to apologize to me for years for his actions. My attempts to get justice from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and from the FBI were unsuccessful due to the priorities (quite rightfully) of the Post-911 environment here in NY City. Fact 3: Dave Forman is the owner of SGC. Talk about the inmates running the asylum.... |
I also took umbrage with their talk about being the first registry, but maybe they were talking about 20+ years ago. About the same time they last updated their registry software... mentioning how good it is takes a bunch of gumption.
Imprinting also sounds like they're going to intentionally damage/mark cards. The whole S_____ G_________ C______ thing is just ridiculous. How much money did this take, and where did it come from? |
Links are gone did anyone save a screenshot of the new holders?

Fonz is looking good. Better than the new SGC holders.

the graded numbers are much too large
takes away from the focus on the card
|
So is this the end of the 100 point scale?
|
After years of only sending cards to sgc I think it’s time to start using psa.

I think it is important to note that this announcement was not supposed to happen yet so who knows if that is even the final version of the holder
Edit to clarify that I don't mind them. But I wanted to say that all of the info coming out now should be taken with grain of salt because this was not an official announcement. |
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks the new flips are horrible. I really hope they reconsider this one.

Uh they're scanning each card that's graded and the scan will be available online to anyone who might be purchasing said card later. Granted it's not as important as orange packing tape but it's close.

Buy the holder, not the card. :)

Business Idea: Purple Label + Free Shipping = Hobby Gold
Peter, if the purple label company would offer free shipping I think we both could agree it would be a game changer in the hobby!
I would accept any cost for a purple sticker as long as the damn shipping is free! |

I have always liked the old label. Why did they have to change it? :(
If it ain't broke, don't fix it http://s210975194.onlinehome.us/auct...em_22081_1.jpg |

Smart move, imo. |
These new labels look awful. Who is ownership of this company?
|
The label is overshadowing the biggest and most promising change to SGC: their scanned registry.

I have no big problem with the label, as long as they are going to the 1-10 grading scale, which I feel is long overdue. Their Set Registry still needs to be more user friendly for them to move forward and to try to compete with PSA.

:eek: SGC!! Can't come up with anything original.
To bad I can't sue you assholes for stealing part of my business model and original idea! Actually you blatantly are ripping off my business model that has been discussed not only with SGC employees but members here on this board. Have your lawyer contact me! Just want to make sure you have all my correct and current info. This is not a joke and I am not taking this matter lightly and neither should SGC.

if I had what I thought was a million dollar idea, I would not post about it on a public chat board. and i wouldn't supposedly discuss it with one of the leaders in the field I was hoping to enter. and I wouldn't think that posting about the idea on a public chat board gave me legal rights as the only person to pursue the idea.

What exactly do you think SGC stole/misappropriated from you?

Speaking of patents, I do see that as of 2017 there is a Patent Pending for computer grading technology.
