• this due diligence includes asking around about the new holders sgc is using

unless i missed the mark on something, it sounds like you're protecting your customers' best interests.

The only crime SGC has committed is retiring their green label in favor of that loud overbearing 72pt type grading number that shouts "look at me instead of the card".

A crime against design if not humanity itself...

TROLL ALERT!!!!! TROLL ALERT!!!!! TROLL ALERT!!!!!

God, as if there was ANYTHING in the OP's question that would warrant someone going after him. What a joke!!!!!!

I do not think I am trying to be a troll, mainly because I don't know exactly what that means. I just think that there was a better way to try to get an answer than asking if there are "problems with SGC's new slabs." I think any slab can be compromised, i.e. have a "problem." And then to admit that there wasn't even an effort to contact SGC? I'd have handled it differently, but good for the OP that respondents here think he's in the right taking the route that he did.

You're not being a troll, but you're also not recognizing the current fraud that is rampant in the market. Scott's business is protecting people like me from fraud so whatever steps he has to take to protect me as a buyer is greatly appreciated. I was able to get ahold of someone at SGC but it was about submissions, not the integrity of their slabs. I would assume that would be a higher level discussion. I can say that Grifters are always ahead of the game looking to take advantage of honest people like you and me.

That's one reason that this place is special, its loaded with people who have integrity.
