JSA buys equity stake in SGC

[sb1]

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.

I have dealt with Michael on countless occasions and I can say that he is a true professional, and I call him a friend. If the new blood coming in have any of Michael's customer service skills and hobby knowledge then SGC will be in great hands.

I was at SGC myself yesterday (ran into another Net54 member there) and had the chance to spend some time with Joe Delgrippo. He's excited to be working there and excited to learn the ropes and interact with all the great customers. It will take some getting used to (just like any new job does) but I'm sure that Joe will transition into the position nicely.
