This is exactly right IMO, and sad. I have only ever submitted to SGC, and that won't change. All of my collection is raw anyway. I send to SGC if I want something authenticated or am planning to sell it.
I won't ever send a thing to PSA

If people who like SGC would just keep on using them maybe Collectors would actually keep them as a “Boutique” option. SGC has really always been a “Boutique” grader if you think about it. They’ve always specialized in vintage but dabbled in modern. We are headed down the whole self fulfilled prophecy territory of SGC’s demise to me.
