New SGC slabs & more...

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...

I hope they don't get rid of the green border like they did for a hot second a few years ago. I was one of many that complained about that on here.

SGC, please keep the green border labels. Collectors like uniformity in their collection. By all means improve the black gasket to prevent slippage, make stronger plastic cases, and enhance the label security, do the 10-point scale, but keep the green border.

Looks like black, gold, and purple are the new proposed colors.

Wow, that’s crazy. I understand the need to stay new and innovative, but forest green is their identity. You won’t see PSA getting rid of their red ever.

It would be cool if SGC showed maybe 6 concepts and there would be a public vote for the winning design.

Maybe it’s too late in the production process, but I know SGC is excellent when it comes to their customer service. It would be great if the consumer had a little say in the final look.
