Problem with CGC is they currently get little price respect in the marketplace (speaking specifically in vintage cards 1970's and earlier). Walk a show floor and see how many CGC cards you see offered next to the cases filled with SGC and PSA cards. I know even with no SGC, I wouldn't currently send a vintage card to CGC.

If SGC disappears, and PSA refuses grade your cards (or continues to put NM-MT cards into 5 holders), and if half the grading team from SGC moved over to CGC, would you still refuse to send them cards?
For me personally, there's a good reason that SGC gets a significant chunk of my grading business. If they were to close up shop, I would be looking for other options besides PSA.
Also, I just hate the way PSA grades cards. They care way too much about corners and far too little about centering.
