$30 per card is too much.

Also those $100 spots are max $1499 and the $50 are max $999 value at PSA.

$30 is for max value $1499 for SGC

I like SGC for certain cards and PSA for others.

Just pointing out that $30 may seem like a lot for certain cards but it's a bargain for others.

Has anyone been able to complete an order over the last week or so? I've been having an issue doing so and am attempting to determine what's going on.

UPDATE: I was able to get some clarity from SGC and help completing the order. It appears it was a PayPal issue.

Cards are graded and shipped today. One nag, SGC did not annotate the 68 Topps Ed Brinkman as a yellow team letter as I requested on my initial form.

Cards received at SGC on 21 Jan and returned on 8 Feb. That is right around two weeks. Can’t beat that with a stick.

Had the same problem with two E98 Old Put Backs, they should have been added to the label as requested with the order, I chalk it up to grader inexperience.

Glad to hear that SGC is moving quick. Sent off my first submission today and im hoping to have them back by the end of the month. This thread is making me hopeful.

Wow, that's fast. But the question on everybody's mind is... DID THEY POP?
Everybody's gotsta know when and if they popped? Ain't done nutting until they popped. Everybody knows that. Please tell us when they pop or if they will pop. I like it, just when they pop. I don't even care if they have my cards for a year and a half as long as they pop. Well did they? Pop that is.

That's definitely worth the 30 bucks if you have to have graded. Popped or not...

It sounds as if you're asking whether they popped?

Back off man, you are scaring me.

Not picking up what you are laying down man….. crazy talk. That is all I see.

Few things reading through the posts:

1. Graders don't designate the labels, that's done by research team, and some things they don't find significant enough to designate and try to eliminate too many variations in labeling to help with the pop reports being more accurate.

2. Someone commented on my earlier post of me being a group submitter. You are correct it is 30.00 a card to send yourself, through us its 23.00 a card, so 7.00/card savings. I'll also mention that 30.00 is one of the cheapest rates out there for anyone being as even the "new companies" are charging more and take longer.

3. Our latest order took exactly 12 business days from the day it was received to the day it shipped out the door....pretty impressive when looking at what the other companies are doing.

That's fine if it's something that isn't already in the pop reports but the Brinkman variation and the E98 Old Puts are already in the pop reports so not labeling them as the variations actually make the pop reports more inaccurate.

Correct, in my case it would have added 1 to the E98 Red Brown and established 1 pop Blue Kling Old Put backs.

I just sent a 2 card submission, after not using their service for about 2 years (used SGC exclusively for 17 years prior). Admittedly I switched to PSA and currently have 42 cards still there after a year, now I dont have an issue with that since they only go back into a box anyway. We will see how this SGC sub goes and maybe I will be back, but not sure based on how they just dont seem to want to compete (almost like they want to be the underdog), although their website is starting to show improvement and would still like to see a registry, albeit for me not for competition but more for self organization.

I have no idea what you're talking about. SGC is literally the only major grading company that has actually improved on any front since the pandemic began. They are the only TPG that gives even 2 shits about the customer these days.

In your opinion why don't they restart their registry? That would push more people to crossover their Psa slabs and register. Would be my only complaint.

I know we all LOVE fast shipping so we all must LOVE fast grading too. Question is are they getting it right? I have seen a lot of recently graded material by SGC and from detailed scans and plenty in hand they seem to be crushing vintage over the last 6 months. I do not need or want fast and inexpensive grading if the results of such are cards in 5s/6s that should be lock 7s.

I think they will eventually. My guess is that it's probably just the cost of setting it up. They might be looking into newer/better options for data storage. They probably lacked the necessary skilled workers to build it "properly" and need to hire them.

moving their existing registry is simply a matter of adding a link to their new website....

They have been promising a "New Improved" registry for years.

Adding the existing registry link is better than nothing ATM

Several have noticed this, along with me. Also, what's with so many 'A' grades? I bought 2 raw '55 Bowman cards last year from the original owner, an Aaron and a Mantle. Both cards were crisp with minimal wear. The Aaron has a bad miscut on the back, so I was unsure how that would grade and they gave it a '5'. The front looks more like a '6-7'. The Mantle had a slight bend (not a crease) along the top border and I was expecting a '5'. It came back 'A' for some reason, so I cracked it out and now it's in a PSA 5 holder.

I've had a similar experience recently.

They have been promising a "New Improved" registry for years.

Adding the existing registry link is better than nothing ATM

Sounds like you've solved the puzzle then. This is great news! Perhaps you could email them with the link?

Sent a few cards in for the 5-day turnaround service. Cards were received on 3/8, graded on 3/9.

Are you happy with the grades? I'm hearing a lot of folks are not happy at the strictness of the grades coming out of SGC these days.

I've been with SGC from Day 1. I'm not buying the recent gripes. They have always been tough and accurate, unlike most other grading companies.

Very happy and always satisfied with SGC and their grading.

Peace, Mike

PS For those who have been around long enough, SGC cards are typically always nicer looking than comps in other grading card holders. Bar none! Been buying the supposed SGC "dip" for years. Try to find SGC T206s now at reasonable prices!

I agree that SGC has been the most consistent but not necessarily the toughest. I think for the most part they have always been more lenient on miscuts and writing.

And I disagree that they always have nicer looking comps compared to other grading company's.

I just got this Waddell back from PSA, I thought it would get a 4 possibly a 3.5. I just checked the last 3 recorded sales of an SGC 4 on card target and I think it's just as nice as one of the SGC 4's and nicer than the other two.

The centering on the PSA card is perfect! Wow! I think with all the recent and past scandals at PSA they are trying to undergrade now and yes, of course not all SGC look better but acrross the board, I feel they do. Your card is an outlier and a bit undergraded in that PSA holder. Beautiful Rube however! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Mike

Default SGC = blazing fast

Sent in a Koufax Rookie and Johnny Bench 2nd year ('69 All Star).

SGC received them on 3/25

I've already gotten the grades and they've been mailed.

That's a turnaround of 2.5 weeks/13 business days from receiving to being graded/mailed. Insane.

Also, both graded higher than I expected especially the Bench, which came back an 8!!!!!!

I recently paid up for a Waddell 2.5 paying more than other SGC and PSA 3s. Color and centering on that one... just stunning. That is clearly #1 in the group you posted.
