Default PSA "getting to big for their britches?"

Posted By: calleocho

how many people collect boxing cards versus mainstream topps issues?

I dont have a problem with SGC, I collect cuban born players and most of my luques, marsans etc are in SGC slabs.

However i dont have a single SGC Miņoso or Pascual...and for every pre war card there are 10 or more 50-60's cards that i need for my set.

So unless SGC manages to break out from their niche of pre war cards ...i honestly wonder how much longer they will have a viable business model.

Both grading companies make the same amount wether they are grading a pre war card or a vintage 50's topps card.

But the supply of pre war cards diminishes everyday while there is no shortage of the rest.

The key would be for SGC to develop such a strong brand in their niche that they could charge more to grade pre war cards.
