PWCC contract with SGC cancelled???

Maybe there will be one registry for all graded cards if enough mergers/buyouts happen. This is one of the main reasons as a collector, I would never grade a card until it�s time to sell.

FWIW, I spoke to Brent and he said "We haven't sold to PSA. We are still our own entity".

Nobody suggested PSA had bought PWCC, did they?

I'm assuming that he was referring to Brent Martin.

I see, not a name I knew. Phil did you ask him the follow up question, are there discussions?

Yes, I was speaking of Brent Martin, I find it easier to just ask sometimes. I'm not really comfortable asking him follow up questions since it's not my business.

I hear you, and people not under oath often aren't truthful anyhow in my experience. Come to think of it, even under oath...

Presumably, the transaction is larger enough that it will need to go through the HSR anti-trust review process at the Federal Trade Commission. Prior to HSR, both companies must continue to act independent and there are significant proscriptions against sharing certain types of information, as well as against the acquiring company directing the activities of the acquired company.

So, the statement above can be factually true, even if the deal has been agreed to by the parties.

Brent used the word "still" maybe that was significant in context. I can't remember the HSR thresholds now, I'll have to look that up. They're fairly large though. I thought the transaction size had to be somewhere around $90 million.

No doubt. I wanted to get some feedback from an SGC rep in case they want to make a larger statement here or on their website.

I posed the question to Nats Turner on Twitter and he asked where I heard it so I directed him to this thread. Would be interested to see what he says.

Interesting response by NT...

No it's not true. Big fan of Dave though
