I'm not saying beer is analagous to card grading, but I'm hoping that this is sort of like I
nBev or one of the big guys buying a craft brewery and not changing the recipes (diluting them with corn or rice instead of barley, etc.)
If it is true that Collectors tried to buy SGC multiple times in the past, but failed, I wonder what, if anything, changed this time?
Was it just more money? Was it that Peter sees the writing on the wall and that card grading (like beer) may have topped out and selling in the future would not be as profitable?
Or could it be that SGC got better terms? For instance, a guarantee that SGC could continue on without much interference, or that it would even get an infusion in cash to make improvements? This is probably just wishful thinking on my behalf, but everyone can dream.
