What will Collectors do with SGC?

If you vote "Other" feel free to list what else you think might happen.

Despite Ryan's skepticism about my economic credentials LOL, I voted option 4.

I will go with a combination of these two.

Invests in SGC and enhances it with new/better features – e.g. better registry.

Treats the situation as a monopoly and jacks up prices for SGC, and lengthens turnaround time.

I voted "other." That Dave will buy a house on the ocean and pay for dinner when I see him.

What are the chances PSA opens a branch in the current SGC offices? Prewar or vintage cards shipped there for grading under PSA label. A lot of east coast collectors might move to Florida to be graders who aren’t interested in living in California.

A good point. More than one choice could happen. If they enhance SGC with a better registry or other improvements, perhaps a (small) price increase could be warranted.

But it would be very sad if they just adopt the worst aspects of PSA, by making SGC processing times ridiculously long and jack up the prices.

PSA wil find a way to combine the registries and help increase demand for SGC graded cards.

This isn't happening unfortunately

I voted choice #4. Not sure where we would go for a black apron in that case. Some cards just look way better that way.

Yep. On one hand, accepting already graded SGC cards would release any depression of those values, but on the other, it would disincentivize crossing over.

Other. The question is vague as to time. In the short to middle term, I suspect not much will happen. Long term, more.

Obviously, over large time scales, more will happen. I was thinking more along the lines of the next 2 to 5 years. Not sure what timeframe you mean by short to middle term.
