Default Hopefully also a wake up call for PSA

"Our entire team cares about how you’re feeling and we know that this means we will be 'pricing out' a large group of cards. Please understand that this is temporary and we will continue to build at an unmatched rate. Although I cannot pinpoint exactly when it will take place, SGC will be lowering our prices as soon as we feel we can effectively meet the demand."
From their actions I surmise PSA believes they have a stranglehold on the market - a "service" that people are willing to just wait indefinitey for. Clearly if SGC's submissions went up 500% overnight, not as many "loyal" customers as PSA might believe. Really hope SGC can ramp up and capitalize on what might be a once in the company's lifetime opportunity.

I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
