Yes, this is precisely what would happen. SGC prices would decline at a rate proportional to the probability of them crossing over to PSA slabs in the same grade. As time goes on, that probability gets lower and lower. Unfortunately though, since PSA has moved to the goal posts ~2 full grades lower for most cards, that means almost nothing crosses over these days already. So something would have to change fast to keep their prices from plummeting rather quickly. It won't take long for every youtuber to realize that they went 1 for 15 on crossovers, and that's not an exaggeration.
