Why is the SGC Pop Report Getting Ignored?

Someone answers the phone at SGc? Must be new technology

I am bumping this thread to mention that I attempted to bring a stack of SGC labels to the SGC booth at the National last week, and I was told that they do not update their pop reports.

What baffles me is when you send a card in for re-holder they give you a whole new slab/serial number....idk

Why would they? That's just creating work with zero benefit, unless it's a card with a pop count of 10 or something.

I'll chime in that the reason that less people use SGC pop report is it's a pain in the ass to use - to find the set then scroll through multilple pages to find the card. PSA's takes a bit to load, but at least it's all on one page once it does.

Semi-off topic - I just sent my first submission to SGC for grading - Is there zero rhyme or reason to SGC's numbering? PSA appears to be sequential, but my submitted together cards cert #'s were all over the place.

There is an enormous benefit for cards with low populations in the single digits.

It takes a lot.of work to maintain Intergrity of the pop report. Nobody cares about SgC pops or set registry, even the workers. 30 seconds to delete a flip.

I sent three cards in for grading two weeks ago and all three showed up on the SGC pop report after grading. I think you got wrong info.

That must be new. As recently as a year ago, I would see them getting updated with cards I had slabbed with them.

That is VERY disappointing if true.

It is both true and disappointing.

Edited to clarify that new cards may or may not be added to the population, but the gentleman at the SGC booth assured me that they do not accept cracked out flips for removal.

I had hoped for improvement in this area after the Collectors buyout. I hoped wrong.
