boxingcardmanThey've always differentiated themselves from PSA with their great service, esp. re answering questions, so not to respond to something is rather out of character and must be tied to the move. As far as bringing cards to the National, the best way is the only way: walk up to their booth.
I'm sure Derek's position with Mastro has something to do with their use of SGC but it also has to do with the niche SGC has carved out for itself with its better holders. Many vintage cards do not fit in PSA holders and many vintage collectors simply do not like seeing their cards in sleeves floating free around the inside of an imprecise holder. That alone is enough to drive me to SGC.
