New SGC grading fees

[bnorth]

This is their new prices. I don't really care about the price changes but I would love to get my cards back that are on business day 34 of a 30 day submission. I sent them in before their 2 weeks off for Christmas/New Years so I actually sent them in 64 calendar days ago.

EDIT: Just got a email from SGC that my order will ship today.

Standard 20 Business Days $10 Any card valued less than $250
Express 10 Business Days $15 Any card valued less than $500
Priority 5 Business Days $35 Any card valued less than $1,500
Next Day 2 Business Days $85 Any card valued less than $3,500
Same Day Same Day $250 Any card valued less than $7,500
Walk Through Same Day $500 Any card valued less than $20,000
Immediate Same Day $1,000 Any card valued less than $50,000
Premium Same Day $2,000 Any card valued less than $100,000
Super Premium Same Day $3,750 Any card valued $100,000 & above

This is why I never send cards in, I would rather send my money on more cards, lol.

All together now... Amen.

I would almost always rather spend someone else's money on the grading. A few exceptions, but this is usually the case for me.

Gosh, grading high valued cards must be a lot more difficult.

If I was really into grading my cards. I would bring a box full of them to a show and take advantage of a show special. SGC might want to have a sliding scale down on the fees, when they don't meet the timeframe the customer paid for. Accountability would be gladly welcomed by most, and it will help the number two used TPG catch up to PSA.

Last time they were here in NY, it was $35 a card on site

[mechanicalman]

So if you have a card valued around $4K (say a mid-grade T206 Cobb or Goudey Ruth), you will pay $250 at SGC or $95 at PSA.

Yeah, good luck with that, SGC.

For the most part I agree with you. I sent mine in for grading because I am going to sell some of them and it is way easier to sell them graded. I also sent in a complete 59 Fleer Ted Williams set. I am a person who likes to look at and touch my cards. The Williams set is just so nice I did not want to hurt them. Usually I buy lower end cards so my constant fondling doesn't matter.

Ben, methinks SGC saw your post and immediately decided to hurry up and finish grading your submission! Perhaps, if SGC were to focus on grading submissions rather than following what is being said about them online, turn-around times would be shorter.

LOL, That could be true because I know Matt(Hi Matt) their Director of Operations is a member here. I also sent an email to him yesterday about it though.

Honestly, why would anyone even worry their selves with SGC on submissions at higher prices? If you had a high end T206, give me a solid PSA 6 over an SGC 84 anytime...I have some SGC graded cards currently on the Net that if comparably graded by PSA, they would be a lot higher in price. Nice, solid cards, but not graded by PSA. From what I have been told, SGC seems to be going thru a very large transition....And for the questions out there, no, it is not that simple crossing SGC to PSA, not at all....
