Collectors (PSA) Acquired SGC

[calvindog]

If you have any interest in maximizing the value of your cards, how can you use CGC? I'm asking seriously. It's like throwing money away if you expect to sell your cards someday.

At this time, I do agree with this sentiment. Collectors can do what they want, but if you do want to maximize your cards, I would not use CGC. That’s like showing up to play Pebble Beach with clubs you bought from Goodwill.

Just an FYI -

I sent an email to SGC expressing my displeasure with the merger. For whatever it is worth, here is their reply:

Thank you for reaching out. Reading your email, I can tell how loyal and passionate you are about the SGC Brand. I can confirm that SGC has been acquired by Collectors, however, with the start of this new chapter for SGC, I am pleased to let you know that there are no changes happening with SGC. You can still expect the same service as before with our turnaround time, our collector friendly grading fees, and our Customer Service Team. Please feel free to reach out at any time if you have any questions or concerns and I assure you we will be more than happy to do what we can to continue to offer the highest level of service that our customers have become accustomed to.

I think it might be ebay that is buying Goldin Auctions.

Is there any other line where they take control of the product? They even sub out authentication. (I wonder how that'll go with the merger.)

I sent it to Brent, but it came back from Tyler.

Kind of surprising he didn't craft 300 or 400 personalized responses.

Agreed, and that’s why I prefaced it with “for whatever it’s worth”. I know to an extent it’s a canned response, but at least I got a same-day reply, and had a chance to voice my displeasure. I guess only time will tell whether or not SGC remains true to their core.

And/or "damage control."
