It is interesting/surprising/exciting to see CGC getting this much love. It seems like it’s a challenge to break into this space, and yet they seem to be making a decent showing of it, much to my surprise. But maybe it’s just a sign of the market craving for another option.

Over 85% of CGC’s grade count is TCG and other non-sports.

True... But a huge chunk of PSA's numbers are TCG as well. Sportscards only account for 35.6% of PSA's total numbers. And the vast majority of that is ultra-modern.

Just going by the "eye test", I agree with raulus that CGC is starting to make some significant in-roads. I am seeing a lot more sportscards in CGC slabs these days.

Well John, once again, I was told by people here professing to have superior knowledge of how businesses were run that this could never happen.

I have no idea if they have the ability to hold on as a player in the market, but the transparency they provide is second to none. I see them a lot more on the Pokemon side of things.

Thanks, I appreciate the info! It is a nice looking slab. This is the first time I have heard of them.

You're welcome. I hope they become a mainstay and become more mainstream in the sports market. I don't think any of their business model is proprietary, but their business practices when it comes to transparent grades should be the standard. At the very least, I hope other companies adopt that aspect of their model. They are partnered with Card Party (ran by DeepPocketMonster, a huge player in the YouTube Pokemon space), which has become a massive Pokemon-specific show held annually or now biannually.

Here is more info on their DIG Report (Digital Image & Grading). It's really solid stuff that takes all the guesswork out of the equation.

Could never happen… I’ve heard that a lot over the last 10 years in regards to the collecting community

Superior Knowledge or Superior Opinions lol

Time will tell…

My question is what impact does the downfall of the grading number at SGC have on the the previous higher end vintage graded cars in SGC slabs.

Will the youth remember SGC ?

I have many SGC cards and certainly hope they retain value, but for reasons we've discussed, my expectation would be that inevitably and eventually a defunct brand is going to suffer some devaluation.

I agree with you...hopefully it will be very minimal devaluation.

The change in grading standards has also created a negative perception of older PSA slabs too. I wonder if those take a hit in value down the line
