I clearly love SGC. This is true. I have spent alot of money over the years with Beckett, PSA, and SGC because I honestly like the way Beckett sleeves EVERY item and PSA has had its moments. SGC simply rocks and is run by collectors.

This being said..........IF SGC went away which it clearly is NOT..........

I'd probably switch over to PSA but they are not really grading right now so.......

I'd use top loaders! Paint black sharpie around the edges to replicate the tuxedo that I love. Enjoy my gems that way!

Thats it!

I certainly was not dodging the question, just eating~

Peace, Mike

PS This clearly is my best producing post! Almost 25K "hits"! Wowser!

There is some interesting news coming out tomorrow I believe. Not SGC. I personally think that transaction will happen sooner or later.

I think time will tell if the values approach PSA, but the fees are so much lower, I had to give them a chance. I submitted 22 cards three weeks ago and they are already on the way back to me.

The grades were surprisingly lower than I had hoped, but that gives me faith in their standards.

I hope....

Fake news! There is none. The news is that SGC is blasting their competition and its hilarious......and a bit lucrative I might add!

I wouldn't go that far. Have you ever tried to sell an SGC card via auction?? I have. It wasn't pretty.

depends on the card. my guess is the card you sold was a common, registry type card.

What a surprise...... SGC is still SGC and will continue to school all other grading companies. Big or small!

Like I've always said, SGC is here to stay. Other companies can merge all they want. I'm sure now that Goldin is part of PSA he will personally grade all of their backlogged orders! Poof! Voila!

Peace, Mike

PS Your point was that SGC had some big changes. There are none. My point was that SGC will continue to operate and thrive. Bingo!

I didn't say they were happening today. Stay tuned. I hope you are right but not what I am hearing.

Ok, got that but I'll stand by my core belief that they are not selling out. If anything their position just got stronger. They are literally the only game in town right now that is grading quickly.

I do realize that when you are at your best is when the money and buyout offers get thrown at you but I truly believe SGC is staying put by themselves. I've been with them from Day 1 and seen alot of changes and rumors.

All good! Thanks for spirited debate Pete!

Be interesting to see if a "Chinese Wall" gets built between PSA and Ken. Somehow I doubt it.

I can see you now......furiously searching the internet......"ahhh found it! OMG! I'm gonna get that Mikey Boy! This is the funniest response I've ever put on this here Net54"

Or in Canada with the exchange rate I guess it's known as Net67. PS Net67.15 by todays exchange to be exact!

I continue to believe SGC is a giant among insects in the industry. they are the only company that invested in their business and solved the necessary problems. They are turning my standard submissions back to me in 6-7 days with an unmatched level of consistency. But I do worry if this turnaround (was 20 days when they dropped the news) is providing enough volume to sustain their business.

Not only is sports memorabilia hot—sports memorabilia companies are on fire, too.

Sports collectibles auction pioneer Ken Goldin has sold Goldin Auctions to Collectors Holdings, a group owned by New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, hedge fund billionaire Dan Sundheim and venture capital investor Nat Turner. Goldin, who founded his self-named auction house in 2012, remains with the firm and will operate Goldin Auctions as an independent business. Collectors Holdings will provide capital to expand Goldin Auctions’ capabilities in the red-hot memorabilia market.
