It really makes no sense for them to maintain the two brands long term.

It definitely makes sense to keep SGC around.
Lots of ownership groups keep two brands alive (think Cabela's and Bass Pro). They do it for good reason. Having two industry leaders under your control insulates your top brand from competition. Think of it like this: SGC provides a buffer for PSA from the likes of BGS and CGC. Keeping #2 in the fold means those other companies have to compete with SGC for market share. PSA can cruise along at altitude above the fray and never really face a serious threat.
Collectors would be stupid to do away with SGC......so they probably will.
