SGC is Riding the Wave

I suppose the other reason why I use them is for some oddball sets where I picked up some raw pieces, and I've decided to start a set on it, like the 1973 Topps Comics, where I recently picked up 23 of 24, or for the 1969 Globe Imports Checkerboard Backs, where I'm just a few pieces short of having a complete set now.

In both cases, if a piece grades one or two slots lower than it should have, I'm not sure that it bothers me that much, simply because these pieces are only going into my PC, and because the items are so difficult to find in any grade that just having one graded is good enough for me. And for the most part, while we all love to complain about TPGs, if I'm being honest, I'm not convinced that the grades I've been getting are really all that low.

The Power of PSA Registry !!! Love it :-) SGC is so far in the dust, they’re never gonna get yours and tens of thousand of others to stop or cross. It’s competitive, enjoyable/fun, and has an awesome platform/website. So powerful!
