Sgc grading on site at the national

As I posted...that Peter can deliver horrible news to you and you will end up thanking him profusely as you complete your communication with him. Standing O for Mr. Steinberg. He should be listed as an Asset on SGC's balance sheet.

so $25 to pre grade and $18 to encapsulate. Why would you spend $43 instead of $30?

SGC is sorely in need of someone who knows how to market their product.

I will submit a few

Shhh!!!! Peter went to a great deal to tell all us all what an incredible opportunity it is. Now you just ruined it by injecting common sense.

If you don't like the pre-grade, which you probably won't, you still have a raw card and save $5 + shipping both ways. Quite a deal!!!

I finally caved and watched the Instagram video. "You can pretty much count on the grade being the same as your pre-grade." 🤔

Friend experience with Matt was far from stellar. Wasnt he a " legacy" hire due to his dad's influence in the hobby? I literally cant believe people would say he was great based on this ones person's experience. I know of it because I recommended REA and held their hand through the whole ordeal, including when I told them pull the set as it was only graded as authentic.

He sent in consignors signed set to get graded, and "forgot " to have it dual graded. It came back as only authentic and had to be resubmitted.

You don’t. People who aren’t good and determining for themselves what the condition of a card is will use this service at the National with SGC, then immediately turn around and submit the card to PSA! LOL

ClementeFanOh · #11 07-23-2022, 09:19 AM

Johhny360- then wait 6 months for cards that stand a decent chance of
being wrongly graded? Gotta finish the thought, don't we? Trent King

PS- you know, that may not be a bad strategy after all. Submit to PSA so
that, when they finally return the submission, the cards have become "vintage"
in the interim. So THAT is the logic, that's the long play. Ingenious!

The fact is that SGC does not even allow phone calls unless you are privileged to have their private numbers yet currently still has huge amount of demand, so I guess they think they know what they are doing.

I no longer submit anymore with such a blatant disregard for customers to either company unless its thru an auction house, they get better service, its time the complainers do the same.

This is 100% spot on for both PSA and SGC.

That can�t be further from the truth. PSA has risen as a Phoenix from the Pandemic and SGC better invest in a customer service phone number and show up. I�ve been grading cards with SGC for probably 23 years and PSA for 20.
If PSA�s CEO can respond to Twitter at 6:19am and have one of his IT staff tell me when an issue is fixed late later that day, while I can�t get Peter to return an email about the re-holdering older cards where the flips printing is fading something is rotten in Denmark.

Here�s a coupon 1 free grade for every 20 cards that was issued over 20 years ago

Huh? What I wrote can't be further from the truth but what I wrote was a reply agreeing with someone's observation's, which I identified with and your reply to me had nothing to do with my sentiment.

Either way, MY opinion is based on MY experience. Your opinion is based on your experience. Ya see how that works? This is not about truth.

People for the most part don't care about customer service, they just want the flip and slabs. It's ironic because back in the day SGC used to have outstanding customer service over the phone, in my limited experience. And not all that long ago when I submitted some relatively obscure nonsports cards, Matt Clark could not have been better to deal with.

Matt was GREAT at SCG, which is probably a large part of the reason he is at REA now.

Matt was awesome at SGC. He has been gone for a few years. He helped me with my last sub to them and was gone by the time the cards come back.

They've set the bar so low, anyone can trip over it
