If SGC hired Joe Orlando, would that make a difference in anyone’s opinion?
Caution: This is a hypothetical. I have no insider information, and I am unable to whistle.

Hmmm... what, a 2% market share company taking over a 60% market share company?
Who has the other 38 % market share ??? __________________

Current eBay listings with the following keywords: 1,052K total hits BGS, BVG, BCCG: 269K (25%) PSA: 727K (69%) SGC: 56K (5%) I realize the results are somewhat skewed because people will name drop PSA more often than the other companies, but it loosely follows my guesstimates.

Interesting Numbers

If you don't like their services that's fine but you can't blow them off as a minor player - at least not in the vintage card market. They already hold their own and, in some cases, have graded more than anyone else (in the case of Old Judges, almost twice as many as PSA). To each their own, but I thought actual data might be better than "guesstimates".

In my opinion, SGC's big chance to gain market share was around 10-12 years ago (+ or -). Once Brian Dwyer departed to start Sterling (and later take over REA), their opportunity dwindled. If they could've somehow gotten him to take over SGC's operations, they could've had a shot. Suffice it to say that I think a lot of Dwyer and believe that he would've been able to point that ship in a better direction - from a change in plastic holders to a revamping of a registry to marketing. It would've taken a lot of work and I don't think SGC would've overtaken PSA, but SGC could've been a Pepsi to PSA's Coca-Cola.

Dave, thanks for providing the the comparative pop report numbers for some of the most popular pre-War sets. I assume your SGC numbers are taken from their legacy pop reports, which I believe haven't been updated for a couple of years or so, which makes you comparisons somewhat misleading. Also, I'm surprised that you didn't include pop numbers for the T205, T207, and 1933 Goudey sets, which are very popular pre-War sets.

I continue to watch many of the auction house prices, and in many more cases than before SGC is outselling PSA graded cards. No, I don't believe they will overtake them, but I do believe that SGC cards will have a large rise in prices.
