Sgc price change

[cammb]

When did SGC up their price per card from $10 to $15?

[Tom S.]

A couple of months ago apparently. BTW, they also increased the charge for oversized slabs from $50 to $85.

They also charge $20 per card to put a silk in a mylar sleeve prior to putting it into a slab. OUT OF CONTROL!!!

I think I am done with them. Why bother to put $10 cards in $15 sleeves. Always have been a fan but no more.

Agree. Once my latest submission comes back, I will be using PSA.

Good Luck with that plan.

"What other industry raises prices because they have "too much business,"

that would be pretty every supplier in a free enterprise economy, who can not quickly increase it's supply of goods and services, to meet demand. It's really the norm. You simply don't see it that often, because most suppliers don't have so much excess demand, that customers have to wait, for many months, for their product or service to be delivered.

I believe this also requires a custom cut to the insert, I know it used to, something they’ve always been upfront about charging more for at least since 2007. Let’s be completely transparent and not just tell part of the story.

I have 2 of these that do not have the custom insert to prevent sliding and all 3 of these cards in question for this submission have their backs so they would not slip anyhow so not necessary in this case. Just a money grab in this specific example. Now if the cards didn’t have backs, a completely different story.

CGC pricings look pretty good, especially for higher end product. I will be curious how they catch on. Andy Broome from BGS fame is the head grader at CGC. I’m holding out hope.

They've upped the price of oversized slabs from $50 to $85? I have a set of R312's - 12 PSA's, 2 SGC's, one BVG and 35 raw. If I want to have SGC slab the rest of my set, I just send them the cards and a check for $2975? Do I have that right?

It would actually be $4,080 to get the rest of your R312 cards slabbed by them (48 cards x $85 per card).

I've returned to raw cards until the dust settles with everything.

All of the tpg have raised their prices. They almost have to do it to slow submissions. People are sending in cards that are worth $15 or less in a 10. Maybe the price change will force people to think hard about what they are submitting.

i call BS on that one...What other industry raises prices because they have "too much business," and are trying to drive customers away....

Nope trying to maximize profits and keep costs down is what they are doing...Business 101...

+1. I love SGC, but it's not feasible to spend $100 a pop on cards to get them back in a reasonable amount of time. The standard service is still taking months on end, and for that - I'll have no problem enjoying my raw cards. I know more or less what they would grade anyway.
