My problem with SGC is what everyone seems to be avoiding....Does the owner of the company buy and sell cards and are those cards in SGC holders? Multiple national dealers have told me that Dave Forman (SGC's owner) is Mastro's biggest consignor over the years...if this is true, there is obvious conflict. I was told that he buys cards that he knows SGC collectors need, puts them in SGC holders, and then has his brother (Steve Forman) or friends sell them for him..............bottom line ...is that true? If it is true, then all I can say is wow. I think I will ask him myself at the national.

I am not trying to stir the pot here, but I'm not going to spend money on SGC graded cards if that is true..I have bought a few SGC cards, broke them out, and PSA either rejected them or graded them lower then SGC.....I know that PSA is a publicly traded company and seem to be held by a system of checks and balances...I cant imagine spending big money on SGC graded cards with potential conflict of interest in the integrity of the card.....can someone get Dave Forman on here or maybe Doug Allen to address this?
