SGG at the National - Onsite Grading?

[Snowman]

Anyone who followed the BODA threads and who is tuned into the extent to which altered cards actually permeate this hobby should have been able to predict the dissolution of any guarantee program that any of the TPGs pretended to offer. Just add up the total value of their potential exposure and compare that against their valuations as companies. They don't really have a choice here if they wish to remain in business.

What a sad commentary on third party grading, if the companies cannot even afford to stand behind their services. Imagine a car manufacturer that could not afford to offer a warranty. But in the hobby, where stuff, and flips, trump all, nothing seems to matter.

True and sad.

Can anyone get ahold of Peter to get an update? Again, just some conjecture on the post, no actual response from SGC.

Someone (that I don't know) just posted in a good, and usually reputable, private Facebook group that SGC is grading on site...

Mysteries do not help companies.

There is no Mystery, SGC does not wanna grade on site, ownership is content and does things his way. Their business will be fine, won’t improve but won’t fall either. It’s business and usual.
