JSA buys equity stake in SGC

[Leon]

First of all, everyone that has left over at SGC I consider to be good hobby friends. I have taken a vow of confidentiality but my understanding is it is basically business as usual. The same graders are still in place and that is mostly (all) what you pay for when you get your cards graded. As many of us on this board have a lot of business experience it is not unknown to see things like this happen when a merger or acquisition takes place. Add in the dismal economy we are in and these changes aren't a surprise. I do hate to see my friends leave the company but hopefully they will resurface in the hobby, if they want to, and land on their feet. Good folks usually do, and all of the guys that have recently left are good folks. I think it will be business as usual over at SGC. No one likes change but it is inevitable in today's business climate. best regards
