I, too, have had the pleasure for the last several yrs of dealing personally w/ Michael, Brian, Glyn & Sean, mainly at the Shriners Show in MA and on the phone. I always appreciated the very quality fine service from each & every one of them and all 4 are & will be missed.

My best to all of you in your future endeavors.

I just called into SGC today to ask a question, and was informed that head grader Derek Grady is leaving the company with today being his last day. Has anyone else heard about this or know the reasons behind it?

Default my understanding...

My understanding is that Derek is leaving for a better opportunity in the industry and it's not with a grading company. I don't know if all of the details are final so don't want to say too much else. I consider Derek a good hobby friend and am very happy for him. When the rest of the info comes out ya'll will understand why . And no, he won't be coming to B and L auctions. best regards

Default What in the world

I must say that after they didn't do onsite grading at the last Philly show I was pretty ticked.
That being said the submission I gave them at the show was back VERY quickly and in much less time then the 10-15 day turn around.
However part of what I really loved about this company was that I knew the people I was dealing with by name and they knew me. We had a nice working relationship and I was able to do a lot of registry work as a result. I do not think that I would be able to do that at this point although I won't know for sure until I have some further interaction with the new customer service guys.
That being said shouldn't a company try really hard to keep good people.
In the last few months SGC has lost the VP, head grader and both customer service guys. This does not sit well with me, especially after everyone said well the customer service guys are gone but the graders are still here. Now that isn't the case either.
I also understand that there are other graders who are more then capable, it just doesn't sit right with me to have so much turn over in a short period.

I wish Derek and the gang the very best as they pursue other options.
