Do you care about the authenticity guaranty provided by grading companies?

Interesting. It was up for longer than I thought, then. One would think that now that SGC is under the parent of Collectors, they might extend the same guarantee as PSA has. But that might be wishful thinking.

Back to the overall of this entire subject - I'd be interested to know how many hardcore vintage collectors now are subbing for review their slabs from the 90's and early 2000's, with a lot of cards that would be 3's today in 5 holders. And if so, is PSA downgrading them appropriately and paying them out? We don't seem to hear a ton of stories like that. I know people love to reholder and make old certs that start with 0's look fresh again in the Lighthouse holders - but when people do this are they taking advantage of the guarantee?
