Sounds like some positive changes. And I guess I'm going to be the one person who kinda likes the look of the new label. I won't know for sure until I see one in person though.

I like the idea of "grader notes". Sometimes you wonder how they came up with a certain grade.

...Beckett older slabs used "subgrades" --they still show up on E-Bay...

I rather have an '8' OC than a BVG 4 any day...and twice on Sunday.

Everything in the SCD article sounds really positive for SGC customers. I just wonder whether they've lost the chance to really compete regardless of what they offer. The changes aren't likely to entice mainstream PSA loyalists because of the registry. Perhaps their target is Beckett, which is so swamped that they are stopping certain services until they get through their backlog. SGC mgmt. has to envy that level of business by a non-PSA competitor.

Are the old serial numbers from SGC’s slabs going to be incorporated into the new system?

What do you think they would need to do in order to challenge PSA? I would say overhaul their registry and it seems like they are doing that...
