Default SGC is Riding the Wave

Anyone else notice the big upsurge in the number of SGC cards appearing on eBay these days? All of my searches (basically 1960s-70s stuff) are full of newly graded SGC tuxedo slabs. It seems everyone is taking advantage of the snap-of-a-finger turnaround times to get their cards quickly into the marketplace.

It is an interesting trade-off. Make less of a profit than what the same card in a PSA slab would bring you (that's a basic rule of thumb, your mileage may vary), but you make the money now (because SGC gets 'em back to you in the blink of an eye) and not in a year after PSA finally decides to return your cards. Perhaps this could be the first step in SGC sold prices moving a bit closer to PSA's? Time will tell.

For the record, I have no affiliation with any grading company.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
