What will Collectors Holdings do with SGC?

[Zach Wheat]

PSA wil find a way to combine the registries and help increase demand for SGC graded cards.

I voted choice #4. Not sure where we would go for a black apron in that case. Some cards just look way better that way.

Could also be a combo deal over time. Unplanned, but perhaps triggered by all of the knock-on effects, including some of the trepidations expressed in this thread about the future of the business.

Maybe #1 to start. Then after a year or two, switch to #3. Then another year or two down the road, #4 becomes an inevitability.

Very true. We may see several of these scenarios play out over time. I was thinking where would be after 2 to 5 years. But a lot of things can change in that period of time, and if we look out at a further timeline, there is much more uncertainty.

I hope, I'm wrong but I think they'll run SGC separately for a while. Next they'll find ways to add features for SGC (probably small ones). Then they'll start to raise prices

At some point we'll get something like this:

... "since we bought SGC we've been investing in new feature to benefit our customers. We feel the time is right to raise our prices so that we can continue to offer collectors the best service possible."

I dont think a 78% market share company should be able to buy a 7% player. Hope it gets rejected.

Yep. On one hand, accepting already graded SGC cards would release any depression of those values, but on the other, it would disincentivize crossing over.

I went with the 4th choice too. Not buying a word of what Peter said in the video. Nat ran Joe Orlando out of Collectors very fast and it was not long after that the Steve Sloan found himself in a new position at the company and then out of the company.

I went with what i want to happen. Option 1. Wishful thinking.

Voted for 4. I think Peter will be gone within a year either finding a new role in Collectors Universe or outside.
I think the message he sent out is to avoid panic and uproar.

I am very very interested to see SGC’s grading numbers for April and May.
