And I highly doubt they are not pumping out submissions for all of the auction houses and their top submitters. Sure for those folks it is business as usual.

I recently sold on ebay an SGC 10 basketball hall of fame rookie card from the 90s. It went for about 40 percent of what a PSA 10 sells for, or perhaps less.

that's just stoopid!

There are two different SGC 10s now, right? That is, two different grades that are both identified as a 10 on the label.

Yes:

SGC 10 Gem
SGC 10 Pristine Gold Label

You have to have a keen eye and training to tell a Gem from a Pristine! lol

That is a bit too much I'd say!

Thanks for sharing Mike. Congrats. So how long was the grading process once they arrived in FL?

Sgc hasnt a dam clue.


They recently graded 15 1952 topps "canadian gray backs" (their description from their drop down menu) with a note "we only label red and black backs" and for me to "send a scan" of the Frank house yellow tiger to determine if it qualifies for the variation label.

They never even looked at my submission paperwork, just took the fees and graded them as commons.

They got them and logged on 8/10/21, the cards were graded on 8/30/21 and on way back two days later!

Really nice to have cards graded fairly, economically, and on a timeline that they tell you will happen!

Usually they are even quicker but I think they have been getting swamped lately!

Sick. PSA has done an outstanding job of making people believe they are the only game in town. I don't see that kind of disparity on vintage but it would appear that SGC modern is selling for much less than BGS too.

Nat may not have to buy SGC. Other than Mike, SGC may end up with no customers if this trend continues.

When I got back into the hobby, which was nearly 20 years ago now, BGS 9.5s consistently sold for a premium over PSA 10s. So, y'know, things can change.
