SO SGC just tripled its prices?

This had better be a joke! And I thought that $25/card was going to be the death of collecting graded sets. Now it's drawn, quartered, and burned to ashes. I am sitting on 30+ PSA graded '33 Goudey commons with an SGC order loaded and waiting for a special to send in for crossover, because I thought that $25 per card was too much. So much for that plan.

It’s certainly an inflection point. A lot of people are going to have to dig deep for how important slabs are to them.

Same BS, different companies.

IF ANYONE submits at the new rate, they will never lower the price.


Why would they? If 33% of people submit, the work load is less, and the big greedy corporation is ahead of the game.


Like all these "covid related increases" you think they will just go back to regualr price.

It's price gouging plain and simple oh based on demand though!

That pretty much nails it.

Set the amount of submissions at each tier level at a number that they are able to process per day week etc. The slots would fill electronically and they can control the rate of items received - very easily done with a computer.

Yep, not very complicated at all.

They could have doubled the grading fee to $50 and I wouldn’t use them, making it $75, they lost a customer. I gave them thousands last year and I’m just one collector. I’m not a raw guy, I like my cards graded, from now on, I will buy graded
