The registry just makes too much sense. That, and better pop reports so we can easily see how many of a specific card are graded (gosh, it is so annoying seeing total pop report across the big 3 graders - takes way too much time).

I sure hope they don't do this. It might make sense, but it's such a potential conflict of interest that would undermine their integrity.

Any update from SGC? We are more than halfway through January and I haven't seen any news.

Historical precedence and deadpan humor, probably.

"Monday" is a running joke in SGC circles.

Hopefully their announcement will be that they will be grading at the National This Year. I was very disappointed they didn’t grade at Last Years National in Chicago.

Concur, they really dropped the ball on that last year.

People come to the National to buy sell and grade cards. Why a major grading company wouldn’t be there is beyond me? Let’s hope they learned a lesson.

I had pretty much used PSA for card grading in the past, but sent my 2nd submission to SGC in December. Generally, I was pretty satisfied with the turnaround time and I thought the grading was accurate. However, I did have one card that appeared to be damaged in the process of incapsulation. I tried to contact them by both email and phone but no response. That was at least 3 weeks ago. So, better communication would be my #1 goal for SGC in 2022.

I was contemplating posting a SCG 3 T205 Cobb on the B/S/T forum but if it not worth the price of a PSA 3, I'll keep it--

Who says it's not? I'd LOVE to see a pic or 2 and a price, you might just surprise yourself.

Thanks~!

Do folks feel SGC is grading vintage differently now? Perhaps more strictly than in times past?

Not just vintage. I think they have tightened their entire grading process. I’ll find out just how much in 45-50 days. They just received 6 cards from me yesterday.

Hopefully they go bankrupt this year
