If this guy wants to stay in business I hope he reads this thread. People here are trying to help him out. He needs to differentiate himself with the slab. Those slabs are terrible and look home made. They better change the look of that before its too late and too many get out there.

SGC has the best slab by far. Its a shame their cards don't sell as well as PSA. PSA just has too much first mover and market leader advantage. I have a feeling that will change someday and the premium paid for vintage cards will reverse to SGCs advantage but its at least 5+ years away.

Aside, I do agree with the chap who gets roasted here for being too into PSAs financial reports. They are closer and closer to diluting their brand on a daily basis. Lets pray that SGC keeps its ethics and quality standards as they, in my opinion, inevitably become the leader in grading both in quantity graded and prices paid for aftermarket prices for VINTAGE cards, prewar. They will never make strides in postwar cards. Its going to be tough for them to walk the tightrope of respected niche player to mass market leader. I hope they succeed. Sorry to hijack this thread to an SGC post but I got off on a rant and don't want to lose all I typed now.
