Old SGC Fees
 

I know SGC's fees just went up - can someone give me the old tiers?

Thanks

I just saw that too. Wondering why. I'm pretty sure for a regular pre-war card they were $7 a card which made them a great alternative to PSA.

Now they're the same as PSA. The only good thing now is you don't have to have a stupid membership.

I just sent a submission in this week and I contacted SGC before sending as they are accepting submissions under old tier with postmarks before March 1,2016

I know that I could still find the old tiers on Monday of this week (although I had to dig). It appears that they are not available this morning.

I sent under 5 day (Grand Slam) at $25 per card (Old Tier). That price jumps to $35 per card as of March 1. So looks like around a 14-15 percent increase?

Hope that they are not shooting themselves in foot with this type of increase.

For about the 100 billionth time, you don't have to have a membership to submit to PSA. They changed that policy years ago.

To partake in the monthly specials you still need the membership.

I think this might be what you are looking for:

I still have copies of the old SGC forms if someone wants to see them.

Thanks everyone, I have a sub going tomorrow and would obviously prefer the old prices to the new ones!

And, unless they've changed their grading standards too, you can still sub a card that measures 95-5 and get a straight grade with no "Q." :D

$10/$35 is approximately a 30% increase for that service level.

It is actually a 40% increase. You are suppose to base the amount of increase off the original price so it is 10/25.

I apologize your Holiness........

It should be noted that prices didn't go up for every dollar value because they also changed the category limits. For example, a card valued between $1,000 - $2,000 used to be $40 under Next Day. Now, a card in that same range is a $35 Grand Slam, a slower service but cheaper.

I do realize that cards in the $500 to $1000 range went up with the new cats, as well as all of the other changes, I just wanted to point out that things aren't more expensive across the board even if the average price went up.

Historically it seems, many times, SGC has mirrored PSA bumps in pricing.

BTW, SGC has a $5 bulk special this month (50 card minimum, $100 max declared value, standard size cards only, no tall boy or higher). I have never seen a special this low for SGC for prewar cards since I've started tracking this in 2010.

$7
 

Their $7 March special is a heck of a deal. 30 day turn around time. No minimum amount of cards to submit.

All 3 march specials are great deals, actually.
