SGC Grading Turnarounds

[ClementeFanOh]

Peter- Well, I believe fair grading is more important, but I feel confident
saying many posters don't agree with your sentiment. Between PSA and
SGC, strictly regarding "fairness" of grading, it's my opinion that SGC is
far more consistent than PSA ever has been. Does that make SGC more
fair? I'd say yes; however, even they have fallen into this trap of seeing
who can be harshest/finest in their grading, like it's a badge of honor in
some game no one else wants to play. Their relative speed is a bonus.

I'll stand by my comments about "obsession", though. Sports cards
enthusiasts and sports fans (people who can talk the sport, not just the
card) tend to be passionate folks. Within the small context of this hobby,
the wait times and "moving the goalpost" grading standards are issues
that continue to frustrate many collectors; however, it's not even close to
an obsession. It's a first world problem that sure beats talking about work
life, but I'm not on the verge of becoming Private Pyle from "Full Metal
Jacket" over it. Trent King
