You do know the true reason why the turnaround is like 24 hrs for SGC right?

So they’re just lying? Ok. They were overrun with volume they couldn’t handle in the summer of 2020, with the old lower prices. They raised them in order to slow submissions and get through the backlog, which they did. There were a few hiccups yes, but it’s largely worked. If they wanted to be PSA clones with economy subs and months-long backlogs, they could lower sub prices to $10 or less and easily overwhelm the queues again. Many of those scenarios have actually happened since 2020 at this point as they were trying to figure out the price points. Maybe not everyone wants to wait months or a year to get their cards back in the name of some great special or economy price? I don’t think it’s crazy to think that SGC might want to differentiate their business model in the ways they have instead of just blindly / slowly emulating PSA. Their stated goal was to continue to grow while maintaining turn times that were not PSA cringeworthy. Obviously that will take longer to do than if their only goal were a quick money grab.
