Collectors (PSA) Acquired SGC

[RayBShotz]

With this news I expect by May submissions to SGC to be down 30-50%.
Who would submit now after hearing this?

I expect them to jump drastically in the short term as opposed to dropping. People want their cards graded by Sgc before any dumb changes take effect. Procrastinators with old labels, PC cards etc.

PS......I hate hate hate PSA's oversized slabs. If Collectors does phase out SGC slabs, I do hope that at least they adapt some version of them for oversized cards.

Looked like a hostage video...if said hostage had just gotten paid a lot of money to "just shut up and do as you're told".

I don't think anything drastic will happen in the short term and SGC will continue to grade cards as SGC, and so long as that is the case, I will continue to submit to SGC. I have no aversion to acquire new cards in SGC slabs just because there is a question mark if SGC slabs will remain around for the long term. I have cards in old GAI slabs and old SCD slabs, even though those companies are long gone. I am not invested in the PSA registry and I am not OCD enough so as to be averse to having different slabs in my collection. I will also continue to submit to Beckett. I like their slabs and trust their grading, based on my own personal experiences.

Because you’re a collector and you want what’s good for the industry and the hobbyist not just the investor and the guy who’s all about the quick flip I thought most of this board really were collectors and loved SGC maybe I’m wrong.

Ray what you said I agree with you I’m just trying to play the other side and see what the other side is thinking. Not trying to argue just trying to get the other view too. Let’s see what other say but I do agree with the drop off, probably sadly happening.

I seriously doubt the majority of people that own pictures of young athletic men in uniforms actually care. Most of the guys I email and trade with will not care in the least.
