SGC Going Away?

[Johnny630]

How many key vintage cards that look great for their conditions do we see graded in CSG Holders in the big guys Auctions? Like REA, Heritage, And Memory Lane…I can’t think of many. Once that starts happening I may take them seriously as being a viable option.

Agree. Outside of maybe one auction house, I haven't seen CSG cards in any of the major auctions.

I do see them at shows, but mainly on Pokemon and other TPG. A few vintage, but very rare.

There's no supply because there's no demand, and there's no demand because there's no supply.

I get a ton of Pokémon popping up in my Reddit feed because I follow mostly sports card subs. That crowd only cares about what TPG is the cheapest and has the fastest turnaround. They were all about CGC until they raised prices and extended turnaround times. Then they became all about TAG until they too got overwhelmed with submissions and doubled prices and wait times. I’ve probably seen a hundred posts of people complaining that PSA ripped them off because they subbed a $5k card through GameStop for $15 and now PSA is requesting additional fees. Some of them can’t afford the additional costs and now claim PSA stole their cards. It’s crazy, it’s like the California gold rush if it were kids showing up with plastic sandcastle shovels.
