Default SGC sale price "records"

SGC has been flooding Facebook with an attempt to show their cards are the most valuable graded cards on the market. Too bad they barely do enough research to confirm it.


PSA 6.5 in May 2017:

Looks like they've already removed some of their false advertising about selling for the highest from their Facebook page after I responded back that other PSA cards in the same grade have sold for higher in the past. Just didn't happen to be in the search engines they looked in.

Most of the comparisons they're doing are also on thinly traded cards or oddball half grades that don't sell often. And failing to mention that top vintage tobacco cards have doubled or tripled in the past two years.

Advertising their brand is fine, but claiming to "OUT PERFORM ALL THE REST!" while posting pictures of cards that didn't actually do that or don't have a wide enough sales history to be adequately advertised as such is misleading or outright false. SGC, please do better research on these cards before you make your pictographs.
