SGG at the National - Onsite Grading?

It's like a certain politician's base, the faithful will excuse anything.

Fixed it for you.

Peter- or, instead of an "excuse", it could just be an utterly accurate
observation based on years of experience. I find it hard to believe the powers
that be at SGC got together and decided to defy net54 members specifically
about grading at the National. It's not a "bad business move" or some act of
defiance, it's simply not their way. The fact that the folks at BMW
manufacture motorcycles, has not compelled the folks at Mercedes Benz to
follow suit ("Oh my gosh, we have to do exactly what BMW does or people
won't buy Benz anymore!"). This is a tempest in a teapot (as usual).

With respect, while I can see why you would interpret my comments in this fashion, that is not what I was suggesting.

And since politics is a banned topic, that will have to be it.

PSA posted what their plans are at the National.

SGC will never be able to really compete with PSA unless they integrate a POP Count and Set Registry into their business platform. It is clearly something that submitters want and without these features they suffer. Maybe they are just content to slide along and be happy with 2nd place.
I suspect one of their problems is insufficient or inaccurate data.

When they changed the cert number system and their original grading scale, the registry all went to hell. Worst move they ever made.
