I think they failed to realize the importance of the POP reports and registry at the time. Several of my answers were met with laughter from the group. Since I knew I wasn't getting the job at that point - I told them that if they failed to "keep up" PSA would end up buying them out in 5 or 6 years....that was met with a great deal of laughter. We all know how that turned out. I still think today that had they made some critical decisions not long ago they would have been much closer to PSA in several areas. Just my two cents.
To your point I think PSA bought them defensively to prevent Fanatics from doing so. If Fanatics had bought them SGC would've ceased to be more of a clubhouse than a company. I love SGC, but the breadth of bad business decisions is staggering.
