I agree with Howard there likely was a defensive motivation as part of the equation. That said, I think you're (1) underestimating the huge revenues they would make from crossover if they eventually discontinue the brand and (2) overestimating any loss of market share. There's noplace else to go, people who want slabbed cards for the most part are going to submit to PSA in my opinion if there is no SGC per se. And I think there likely are efficiencies to be gained by folding in the SGC brand vs. inefficiencies in propping up two brands one of which is small. That said, I have no idea.
