Default Percentage of Vintage Cards Slabbed in Hobby

Posted By: Al C.risafulli

I would think the total number is higher than 325,000. SGC has graded 50,000 T205s, T206s, 33 and 34 Goudeys alone.

It's easy to underestimate how strong SGC is in prewar if you're not watching it every day. On the non-mainstream stuff, SGC's pop report is higher than PSA's on many, many issues. I'd say the number would be over 400,000. The thing that's impossible to quantify is the number of crackouts, crossovers, and resubmits that haven't been taken out of the pop reports.

Whether the number of raw cards is 10x that, there's obviously no way to know, but I would think there's even more. Sometimes it seems like there are four million strip cards out there alone.
