PSA vs. SGC turnaround update

[bobbyw8469]

I have no problem with SGC. I want to use them so bad. I have a hard time justifying $30 per card. I also am dismayed that they don't bring the money PSA does. I want to see how PSA handles my missing order.

Yeah, missing cards are not good! Good luck Bobby, hope they come through!

Last PSA submission turnaround time: 1 year 1 month.

Last 4 SGC submissions at $26 per card (not 30): Never longer than 3 weeks shipped back to me in total time.

One of the supplemental "golden oldies" orders....around 123 cards. Over $5,000 worth.

Wow, did they ever acknowledge receipt of the order or was it graded and they never got it to you?

I had submitted a Collectors Club submission to PSA and was delivered to them on 3/2/2021. Shipped back to me on 6/24/21. Received on 6/26. So it would seem they are catching up considering the complete date chart showed September 2020 for those submissions...

I guess it depends on the card. If you have a few mid to higher end (>$500) pre-war cards, it could be worth the $30 per card. The ROI between SGC and PSA might not be that big of a difference in that case. Now, if you're talking more modern stuff, it doesn't make sense IMO.

We go back and forth on all these grading companies, pros cons etc. I won’t rehash it here again

What I will say is that cannot comprehend how someone can send cards away and wait 10 months. How is that enjoyable? I think PSA adherents are just cut from a different cloth. I regularly crack ‘valuable’ PSA cards and send to SGC and probably have cut $1000 in theoretical value off of each of a dozen cards by doing it. I like collecting sets in uniform slabs and could not care less if some flipper would pay less for my EX-PSA 5 McGraw Tolstoy is now an SGC 4 in a tuxedo. I’m not selling it to you anyway

Uniformity (and a dislike for many brands slabs/labels) is what’s keeping me from branching out. I have 647 PSA graded card…and one Beckett. If I start adding SGC I may go nuts.

I sent a 41 card “value-modern” sub last November. It finally was “received” in Feb, and just went to grading today.

They ask you to review your sub at this point, and good thing…they had one card listed twice and another missing.
