Yeah gemrate has trouble finding certain pre-war sets.

What did I miss, is SGC going bankrupt/being purchased?

I guess you’ve been living under a rock for the last few weeks!

Either that or, as the British would say, you’re taking the piss.

They have different grading standards. It would be a mess. Some people would be really disappointed with some lower-graded crossovers.

I like SGC, but grades of 2 and below get really generous compared to many PSA examples. You can have holes and markings on a card and still get a 2 with SGC. There's other differences up/down the number scale between PSA/SGC, but it's really evident in 2 and below.

Threads like this make me want to bang my head on a wall. There is zero chance that Collectors is going to get rid of the SGC pop report even if they eventually one day decide to shut them down, which I don't think they plan to do anyhow.

If I have done my math correctly, zero chance means that there is a 50/50 possibility of them keeping/getting rid of the SGC population report.

The math:

50 minus 50 equals zero.

Total misinformation. Glad you like SGC at least. lol

If SGC got absorbed up, I would be a happy man if they had 2 different slab options for those who enjoy the black slab color.

I think they contrast vintage cards much better and the colors pop.

In my opinion, the focus should be on the card and not the slab

That's not misinformation. What he said is true. I could also prove it with multiple before & after photos from my own collection after crossing cards over in both directions with the exact flaws he's referring to.
