Regarding the crossover of old SGC slabs, I do not know if you could be offered a discounted rate, but I don’t think PSA will cross them over at the same grade. This will probably happen in my mind before they go public, so within the next approximately two years or so would be my estimation. Time will tell. If you have powerful cards and SGC you are fine they’re still very reputable. However, if you have lower tier and lower grades, there could be an issue down the road getting those crossed over the good stuff will remain good. The average stuff could be less than average.

I don't completely agree. If the brand is discontinued, reputable or not, the value of a discontinued slab is going to be diminished particularly if people are having bad or mixed experiences crossing over as I expect will be the case. 1-1.5 grades lower is bad enough, min size or AUTH is an earthquake.
