I think CardTarget is confused because SGC does not have a cert verification link like PSA where you can instantly check the authenticity and grade of that cert #. However, SGC has this also, but it's called their registry. Basically, if you want to check a cert, you need to create a set registry for that card, and then enter it. When the cert is entered into the registry, it will check if it's a valid cert or not. So, back to the point of this thread, SGC's registry works just like PSA's. Both of them work just fine. Beckett actually has a registry also, but for the last few months, they've posted the message:
"As part of the Beckett.com re-launch, please be aware that the Beckett Grading website and Registry are still in the renovation process. We advise collectors to hold off on attempting to register cards until those sites are live. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you will enjoy the new Registry and Grading site."
This re-launch has been going on for eons ...
