I’m done

I sent in an autographed postcard a few years ago; asked for the rush service and it came back weeks later. Not even an apology or voucher, credit, etc. I won't send them anything anymore unless it's an issue that SGC won't grade.

Go to the National and look at their line and then look at SGC's line. Then come back and tell everyone that they are a "skeleton" of a company. For the record I am an SGC guy.

I repeat, if you take away the registry, they would be a skeleton of a company period! The registry is the driving force of their success and has been for a long time.

Did you write the service level on the outside of your package? I've found not doing this can causes delays.

I always do and did this time as well. And I get that they are busy and backed up. But at the end of the day that’s not my problem. You offer a service and when you can’t deliver it’s bad for business. I realize they won’t miss a beat without my submissions but with the way they’re going about all this will prompt more and more people to consider SGC that aren’t in it totally just for manipulated resale value Psa holders get.

Yea I haven't mailed anything in a while. They're so close to my house I just drop stuff off in person now. Before when there was a delay getting an order in the system I would just call and they would help me out. That may no longer be the case if they're that backed up.

I wouldn't call the premium PSA cards sell for manipulated. The market seems to have decided they're worth more. Whether it's the registry, marketing, or a perception that they have tougher standards is certainly up for debate. I believe it's probably a combination of those, and maybe other factors, but it doesn't really matter at this point. They sell for the most so people will keep using them.

It’s gotta be due to the registry cause their grading standards are so outta whack. Consistently inconsistent.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s kind of flawed logic. It’s like saying: take away Nike’s brand cachet and they’d be a smaller company. Yes, because eliminating a company’s marketing generally has negative consequences.

I've heard nothing but negative comments about PSA in 2018.

I can't believe SGC hasn't made a bigger push to put together a registry.

Well....they cut their dividend in half and their stock was down from about $26 to $17 today.....problems in their coin grading business. They stated PSA and DNA are doing really well though. For them, that is. Not fur us as the spending public.

silvor · #11 02-08-2018, 07:26 PM

I submitted a card right before Christmas and it was graded within the 10 business days. Not sure what's happening lately.

Did they ever get their message boards up? Between the failing of vintage cards and the turn time, I've been sending more to SGC as well
