Peter is a smart, ambitious guy who sometimes suffers from diarrhea of the mouth.

Tough to watch.

Good message about lower costs and quick turnaround.
But ominous tone about the backstory since they are really just stumping for business. Hope they are solvent.

Still, I like SGC cards so I may try them again after a few idle years of not sending…

A story of missed opportunity, could have repositioned themselves as a leader during covid with a couple of moves, registry being one. I'm always perplexed why none of the new graders like CSG, or PSA for that matter, offers a black apron, if they did they would put SGC out of business.

Totally agree, Phil!
Aesthetics matter to me. SGC cards present nicely in the black apron.

I’m not selling now anyway so I’m not too worried about the resale of PSA 7 + (because I don’t have any of those…)

I hope they last , as they do have a strong presence in the hobby even if they have been tough to figure out sometimes.

I’m going to send them a few cards from the “I’ll grade these someday “ pile.

Default Swipe at PSA....

If that's the extent of what they plan to do for "branding", PSA for sure and perhaps even CSG (who's grading is so far inferior) will eat their lunch! 2 of the top 3 selling sports cards are in SGC holders! If it were my company, I'd be plastering it all over the hobby (like PSA does! ). Agreed the set registry needs to come back too. They run a quality company , just missing the registry and some real $$$ behind marketing.

It was shocking to me how doomed and gloomy he was. Like the hobby is on the edge of breaking. Really? The last time I checked all the major auction houses are still blowing out numbers. Maybe specifically for their company, it’s this dire…Idk just thought this was a very weird video.

I think he was doom and glooming the economy instead of the hobby. Which of course, has a direct effect on the hobby.
