SGC Behind the Scenes Video
 
I am not sure if people on here have seen this or not, but here is an EXCELLENT behind the scenes video by SGC. I imagine PSA is 10 times as big, but this is cool to see every aspect of grading cards.

I posted it two weeks ago in this thread (along with another video), but it didn't get too much notice.

Cool video. Don’t see why oversized
Holders still bump you up from $30 to $100. Used to be $15 extra for an oversized holder if I’m not mistaken.

Oh...the machine that saw the wrinkle??? Kinda overkill I thought.

Was that wrinkle on the Mantle pressed out?

To me, the presence of the VSC machine was the most revelatory thing about the video. (If you haven't watched the vid, think of putting a card under a black light which clearly and immediately exposes any hidden wrinkles and such.)

I assume PSA has one of those guys, too. That would explain how a couple of the cards I had graded came back 4 or lower, even though they outwardly looked beautiful. They must have 'not easily detected by the human eye' wrinkles in the surface. Kinda frightening to realize why every card you send out to be graded comes back much lower than you expected.

I recall watching it and think I saw every aspect of SGC except the grading process. We saw where they store extra desks and like 4 different rooms where cards are holdered and shipped. I sorta wanted my 21 minutes back to be honest. Sent it to two friends who told me I would have to paypal them a payment to watch it.
