I was looking forward to an option since PSA is what it is, and SGC fell asleep at the wheel a few years ago.
But I’d rather wait 6 months for SGC than use that hideous slab.

For disclosure, I have about 35 PSA cards and about 500 SGC cards.
I stopped submitting to SGC when they went to their latest huge font flip and destroyed their registry.

Even though I view TPG as a necessary part of this hobby now, someone has to view this necessity from a collector’s standpoint too.
These guys are facilitating the flipping market only.

News flash, collectors who want to keep the card want a good presentation, a safe slab to hold their gems, good consistent service, and maybe a way to document the collection.

Maybe there isn’t enough money in that...so here we are with year long backlogs and people only wanting perfect cards. Too sterile for this old time collector.

I wish the new company the best. But more of the same isn’t what I want.
