FYS"PSA created the whole concept of the registry
SGC is a great company ...they just are not great innovators."
PSA absolutely had a brilliant idea with the registry. Nobody can deny how much of an impact this has had on the hobby. Definately a significant milestone in the history of card collecting.
SGC is a great company. They have a solid product and are staying focused. Companies usually decide if they are innovators or are willing to be second to market. From a simple grading standpoint (1/2 point scale, slab, flip detail, service, consistency, guarantee, accuracy) they are innovators, but from a product breadth standpoint, they have chosen to be followers.
This is not bad, many time, second to market companies fare much better than innovators.
