Not that their old slab designs were something to write home about, but their new design is horrific. And my facebook has also been filled with their SPAM. I always click on them though because usually someone has posted a link to disprove their claim and it gives me a little chuckle.

There claim on this card is correct because the highest PSA 7 sold on 4/11/16 for $4,156.99.

Guess they did not bother to check to see if cards graded lower sold for more...

Why shouldn't they advertise sales for their graded cards that break records? PSA does the same thing. As do all of the auction houses. What a lower graded card sold for doesn't change the fact that the sale of the 7 broke a record for the highest price paid for a 7.

I like the new slabs.

I don't think their ads are any more deceptive than 1000s of auction house write ups I've seen that breathlessly say "none higher" and stuff like that when what they really mean is none higher for that specific grader.

"aren't any more deceptive" or "aren't any worse than" aren't good defenses

You really hate SGC huh? Judging by your constant barrage of posts, I don’t think I hate anyone or anything as much as you hate SGC. It’s unnatural and probably bad for the soul. Let it go.

Hate? Nah, just a devil's advocate. I am a PSA homer; no qualms about that. Just the "OUT PERFORM ALL THE REST" schtick is getting under my skin. If a 7 that sets a record for 7s outperformed all the rest, it would certainly outperform a 6.5 sold a year ago graded by PSA.
They also are comparing PSA 10 prices to their SGC 100 Pristine cards, when they should only be comparing them to BGS realized prices, because PSA doesn't offer a Pristine grade.

There's plenty of SGC homers and PSA bashers on the board; figured it's worth it to be a counterpoint.
