The new SGC is almost here!

[insidethewrapper]

Like it or not, we all need to sell our cards in the future or give to our kids, therefore PSA will bring the highest prices for me and my survivors.
I don't think I've ever looked at the label, I like the cards much better. Only graded so the kids have a easier time selling them. Label ?

Personally I don't care what their label looks like, or what their holder looks like. The only thing that I care about is that the grade they do put on the card is an accurate grade! I have way too many SGC & PSA graded cards that have been so inconsistently graded over the years that it's almost embarrassing to pull out a 7 in a holder that today would be lucky to get a 5 with todays grading. If they are going to make one change, please let it be consistent grading of their cards for all submissions. I for one am getting tired of playing the submission roulette depending on which grader you happen to get on any given day with both PSA & SGC.

Random question: is Tyler Grady any relation to Derek Grady, who was SGC's old Director of Grading?

[glynparson]

It is his son. He was a contestant on American idol.

I hope the new slabs are the same size as the old slabs. I have been slowly sending cards from my T213-2 partial set to SGC. I want the look of the new slabs to fit in with the old slabs.

My wall is made from barn board that was recovered from a barn that was built in Iowa in the 1880's, and I like the way the black slabs look against the barnboard.

I know that SGC can't make business decisions because of one wall in my room, and I will stay with SGC as I complete my set, but I would like to have a close look at one of the new slabs.

But will the printed corners on the label be rounded or square?😂

Have a submission in right now. Hopefully I will still get the old label. LOL

The biggest change to card grading will be when PSA, SGC, BGS, or whoever decides to implement AI for grading. When you remove human subjectivity from the process, it will be (in theory) as consistent as it gets. While it would potentially improve the turnaround times and increase throughput, there are potential downsides too. At that point, I doubt there would be nearly as many crossover attempts.
