Can another grading company thrive?

Barry-

Your right there are plenty of fly by the night grading companies out there, ebay sellers putting "slabs" on cards themselves and everything else. I'm talking about a bonafide grading company emerging to actually challenge SGC for the vintage pre-war market. Would it take one of the former head hunchos with GAI or PSA or even an SGC employee going his own direction and starting up an outfit before someone would give the benefit of the doubt and slowly start some submissions the way of this "new" company?

By the way just for the record I do like SGC, just was curious if they have a virtual hold on the pre-war card market for the forseeable future or could they in fact be challenged by a from the gound start up company.
