Can another grading company thrive?

Posted By: Dave F

I used to submit/buy mostly PSA graded cards. That has changed the past couple years with dissapointing results from PSA. Many times they overgrade, cards with paperloss on the back get 4's and so on. GAI, well to me it isn't even worth mentioning GAI anymore. So what is the likelihood that a new grading company could emerge and rival SGC? What would it take? How long would it take? For practical purposes I'm not considering Beckett either as their mainstream is obviously modern material. Can/should/would a startup company be able compete with vintage material alongside SGC? If so, would you even give them a chance or are most people just happy pappy with SGC and wouldn't even try submitting to a startup company?
