I have a small sub at SGC.
They arrived in Parsippany last week.
I sure hope the cards on site (not just mine, but everyone's) are going to be kept dry and all the SGC folks are kept safe...cards are replaceable even if no one wants to go through that hassle.

Best wishes SGC!

It's kind of weird that they moved to Bound Brook, NJ which is a low lying area that is prone to flooding during heavy rains...and their move was scheduled as a storm is coming.

Hope everyone and everything will be safe.

And happy to hear Michael is back. good guy.

Peter,

I was surprised to hear they went for Bound Brook too. They must have gotten a heck of deal with rent. Hopefully they aren't near the flood zones too. It's almost a certainty Bound Brook will flood with this storm.

While it is true that the downtown area of Bound Brook is subject to constant flooding with heavy rains, I don't think the new offices will see much if any flooding. For anyone local, it looks like the new address is behind the UPS facility. On the other hand, the new offices should only be about 2 miles from the local minor league stadium.

P.S. Any chance SGC will give us a "welcome to the neighborhood" walk in special?

See this week will be the first annual NYC/SGC prewar cardboard boat regatta starting when "Sandy" hist the shore.

I spoke with Michael just a few minutes ago. All packages ARE being delivered to the old and new addresses. They are being cared for as they always have been, which is good. They couldn't mention the move previously due to some unforeseen issues with the phone company and their scheduling. I am confident everything will be fine. SGC is taking care to get orders out in a timely manner too. Michael told me that are actually ahead of schedule on the orders they have in house. I think if we give them a few days to a week, and let the storm get out of the way, everything will be fine. I do have an emergency (cell) number for Michael so if anyone has an absolute emergency please PM me. However, if you are just looking for a package that was sent we should give them a day or two to let the storm pass by.

Here's to hoping that shipping around some cardboard doesn't qualify to anyone as an emergency...

Best wishes to all in the path of the storm.

If disaster hits, it's likely to involve more than just cardboard. Hopefully Sandy spares lives and property...but that's never up to us.

Hopefully they won't be soaking any cards.:-)

I sent mine registered mail; looks like a "notice" was left that they've arrived today.

Due to the severe weather we experienced and the ongoing power outages across New Jersey, SGC's old and new offices (Parsippany & Bound Brook) are not back open for business yet.

Also, some features of our website are still not working as the servers were affected by the power outages. These features include pop report access, submission status, online submissions and editing registry sets. We are working to get these features back up as soon as possible.

We do apologize for any inconvenience to our customers, and hope to reopen the offices and complete our move ASAP.

If anyone has a specific concern that can't wait until we are reopened for business, please PM me through this message board and I will respond ASAP.

We wish all of our customers & board members (and their families), as well as all of the disaster relief employees, a safe recovery period.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Michael Goldberg
