I doubt it would happen. It's a big enough company that it would likely be sold and repositioned, rather than going belly up. The brand is strong, and they have a large customer base - like any business, there's value in that.

If you believe that card grading is here to stay - as I do - then I think it makes sense to believe that the two major players aren't at any risk of disappearing. They may evolve, but I don't see "belly up" as a possibility.

However, if it did happen, the cards are still the cards. With the exception of high-grade commons from the 50s to present, I like to think that the slab AFFIRMS value and does not ADD value.
