SGC is cranking on recent subs....WOW!!!!!!!

What does this tell us about the strangle hold that PSA actually has on the market that people will wait a year or more to get their cards back in PSA holders as opposed to going with a competitor?

And I highly doubt they are not pumping out submissions for all of the auction houses and their top submitters. Sure for those folks it is business as usual.

I recently sold on ebay an SGC 10 basketball hall of fame rookie card from the 90s. It went for about 40 percent of what a PSA 10 sells for, or perhaps less.

that's just stoopid!

There are two different SGC 10s now, right? That is, two different grades that are both identified as a 10 on the label.

Yes:

SGC 10 Gem
SGC 10 Pristine Gold Label

You have to have a keen eye and training to tell a Gem from a Pristine! lol

That is a bit too much I'd say!

Thanks for sharing Mike. Congrats. So how long was the grading process once they arrived in FL?

Sick. PSA has done an outstanding job of making people believe they are the only game in town. I don't see that kind of disparity on vintage but it would appear that SGC modern is selling for much less than BGS too.

Nat may not have to buy SGC. Other than Mike, SGC may end up with no customers if this trend continues.

When I got back into the hobby, which was nearly 20 years ago now, BGS 9.5s consistently sold for a premium over PSA 10s. So, y'know, things can change.

I'm still only slightly bigger than small potatoes, but I spend $20k with PSA a year on advertising alone. I don't get any special treatment on my subs, FWIW.

Not an insignificant amount of money at all but I think it takes much more than that to play over there. At least from the bits of info I have been given.

Like I said that's just my advertising budget. Cards makes it significantly more. But yes, still only medium potatoes at most
