My SGC Experience - National/Post National

[KMayUSA6060]

Spoiler Alert: Overall, nothing short of excellent.

I picked my SGC submission up today after I wasn't home Friday/Saturday to sign for it. It was a drop-off, 20-day submission I left with them at National. 7 cards in total. They were at my doorstep (or my post office, actually) at the 21 day mark, meaning they were graded, slabbed, and shipped within the 20 days. I called twice - once to see if my grades popped since I never got an update email, and once to see when they would be shipped, again because I didn't receive an update email. I found their customer service to be stellar, helpful, and very professional. The genuineness of their service comes through over the phone, and I was very pleased with my experience.

When I opened the box and saw the slabs, they really popped. I don't know if it's the element of these being mine, but they were much more appealing today than they were when I saw them at National. The numbers are not as distracting as originally thought, and the near gray-scale look really allows the cards to have the spotlight.

I'm confused as to why the Cobb is an A and not a 1. I called and they don't have their notes system up and running yet, but were very helpful in offering a way for me to figure out why it received the grade it did. The other grades I'm VERY happy with.

I highly recommend people continue to use SGC, despite their growing pains and current system troubles.

Nice! Yeah, as I've lamented in another thread, they received my cards 8/8 and have heard nothing since then with no updated on the (either) website.

Sweet cards Kyle. Congrats! Glad you had a good experience. I want SGC to succeed because I think competition is good. In fact, I want both PSA and SGC to succeed. Thanks for sharing.

Good to hear, Kyle. I just shipped SGC my first-ever grading submission today, so I'm very curious about what to expect.

I am glad you had a good experience and I agree with the others that I think competition is good too. I want PSA, SGC, and BVG to all succeed, but I may be too optimistic.

Well, they obviously aren't prepared for growth, or they wouldn't be taking months and months to simply grade cards.
