If you are into subbing or buying PSA slabs for your collection only out of consideration for the $ and turnaround, I get it. But in virtually every other way - customer service, pricing, turn time, presentation - SGC has made strides over and above PSA that are noticeable. And at least for vintage, please don't try to say that PSA is tougher than SGC anymore. It's simply not true. Both have their quirks and differences (PSA tougher on corners maybe, SGC tougher on centering) and things like that, but SGC is not exactly the cakewalk for vintage that BVG historically is.

PSA may have won at least the early long term game with their registry, but increasingly just for a professional presentation and accurately graded card, it's difficult to see them maintaining a 30-50% resale advantage in the long term to come. I would agree that it has defied logic so far, but SGC is the company you see making progress in the last 5 years and doing things differently, PSA not so much. Either the backlogs are endless, or the prices are unreasonable - or some combination of both.

I'm leaning more towards raw vintage cards myself in the days ahead, simply because I've realized that I don't actually value a bunch of things in my "eye appeal" collection that I've ostensibly ascribed to for years - but that said for the few things I still want in a slab for whatever reason - I'm sticking with SGC for submissions. When buying 3rd party I buy the card first and not the slab, thus I have a variety of slab brand labels - but have only ever submitted myself with SGC.

Come on...seriously. you are saying that SGC wants no backlog. They just don't like money.

You do know the true reason why the turnaround is like 24 hrs for SGC right?
