I assume this is where this information comes from.
http://www.sgccard.com/boards/ubbthr...page=1&fpart=1 I am not very happy about this, as I had very good relationships with all three men and to see them all go in such a short period of time doesn't sit well with me. That being said as long as things stay as they are I don't see any reason I will change and I guess I will have to just develop new relationships.... James H

First of all, everyone that has left over at SGC I consider to be good hobby friends. I have taken a vow of confidentiality but my understanding is it is basically business as usual. The same graders are still in place and that is mostly (all) what you pay for when you get your cards graded. As many of us on this board have a lot of business experience it is not unknown to see things like this happen when a merger or acquisition takes place. Add in the dismal economy we are in and these changes aren't a surprise. I do hate to see my friends leave the company but hopefully they will resurface in the hobby, if they want to, and land on their feet. Good folks usually do, and all of the guys that have recently left are good folks. I think it will be business as usual over at SGC. No one likes change but it is inevitable in today's business climate. best regards

Earlier today, I called SGC to check on a submission that I recently sent in. (There was no problems from SGC, just a little confusion on the Postal Service's behalf and I was just making sure SGC got my E98s!
) I talked with Michael on the phone and during the discussion, I believe that he said today was his last day there. I've never met him personally, but he was courteous, professional and very helpful. Even on his last day, he was was a great asset to SGC. Whatever endevours he is pursuing, his future is bright because of his professional and customer frienldy service and I wish him the best. I hope whoever is new to SGC is as courteous and professional as those who are leaving. I will continue giving them my business as long as those there continue to follow Michael's and others like his lead.Tim Kindler |

I too sent a submission in, which they received today and fully expect everything to go off as normal. I talked at length to Michael yesterday and he was as upbeat as ever. He has a myriad of options in front of him.
Joe Delgrippo will be in the saddle Monday. I would not want everyone to overwhelm him on the first day, but I believe if you call and talk to him you will find him quite personable as well. Although he may not be of fully up to speed ala, Brian and Michael, I am sure you will find that your business and happiness is the #1 priority on his list.

I'm assuming (hoping) there will be a roll-out of information on autograph grading and slabbing once the transition is complete? SGC/JSA if you are listening, there are submissions ready to go once you offer the service!

I had the privelege of seeing Michael in person today, on his last day at SGC. As always, professionalism remains his forte and he promised to be accessible to those of us that have dealt with him many times over the past few years. I wish Michael the best of luck in his future endeavors. Just so everyone knows, all the senior graders remain intact as I got a chance to talk to Derek Grady and Bob Luce while I was up there.

I haven't spoken to Michael in awhile but he was always a pleasure to work with and I am sorry to see him go. If you're reading this Michael, thanks for all your help and good luck in the future.
