SGC Registry Gone - For good!

[steve B]

At least some of you got an email. I got nothing. Not that it's a huge deal, but putting another nail in their own coffin isn't the best plan.

Received this (inadequate) response from Brent (brent@gosgc.com) with SGC 30 days ago -

"Thank you for reaching out. The SGC Legacy website is no longer available, as the underlying technology is no longer supported.

Our company has seen an exponential increase in submissions over the past year and we are dedicating our resources to operational growth at this time.

All Registry data has been archived for future integration with our current website (GoSGC.com). We plan to implement a Registry feature once we scale large enough to accommodate the rapidly growing demand for SGC grading. In order to participate in this future integration, please create an account on GoSGC.com if you have not already done so.

In the meantime, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your patience and support, and we look forward to creating new and better technology to make the SGC grading experience even better for our customers."

In other words, "The data is incomplete and inaccurate so to save ourselves further embarrassment we are eliminating the registry".

Steve,

I did not get an email either and I know that my contact information with SGC is/was up to date. Checked my spam folders and didn't see any communication from them there either.

I know I'm not a large submitter to SGC but I have been loyal to them over the years. Pretty disappointing to hear that my business is valued so little that I didn't even rate getting the email.

In the relatively near future VCP now known as theVCP will create a set registry that you will be able to enter using any of the TPG's we cover. Going to have sets and player sets. Very similar to what PSA has now.

That will be great Bobby. Will we be able to use different TPGs in the same registry? For example, I have a complete E104-2 Nadja Pittsburgh set, part in SGC and part PSA. Could I register that set even though it’s graded by two TPGs?

Yes that is the whole idea...we cover the major TPG's...

You can have a set with SGC, PSA, BVG, etc..

There aren’t many GAI left, but would consider adding them also. It as probably not a heavy lift once you’ve done the others.

I floated this idea to PSA years ago, but they wouldn’t do it. Based on this news, I can’t see any reason SGC would ever come out with their own.

For anyone interested, my website t206insider.com has a universal registry for T206. Since 2016.
