SGC has a chance to really step it up. Especially with modern.

Do they have excess capacity as they are presently figured?

Is that something from 'The Onion,' or is it real?

I receive an email from The Onion every day and I haven't seen any articles about PSA.

I think PSA saw my post bashing them on the BODA thread and decided to shut down.... man I am good!

SGC has a real shot. I am a fan of SGC and prefer them to everyone, but in my experience they seem to always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

BTW- the Onion started in Madison, WI - Go Badgers!

How many graders/employees does SGC have?

No clue, but I am sure it’s a significantly smaller outfit than PSA (and yet they do a much better job)

I worry this is going to cause a severe increase in submissions to SGC causing a repeat of their excessive wait times.

I suspect that lots of modern submissions will still avoid them (at least I selfishly hope so, so it doesn't take me 4 months to get back my modest 2 to 7 card submissions).

I just don’t understand how hard it is for SGC to put together a registry. Give the data to a few college kids and they’d build it in a week for beer money.

Wow. Three months. The ripple effects might be interesting. I’m also not sure if a moratorium on new subs is the answer. There are enough devout PSA addicts that will just save up their cards rather than sub to a different TPG. PSA could see a tidal wave come July 1 and be right back where they started....

Unless those lower tiers never come back, which would not surprise me.

They are in process of getting about $3k of my business!

I can "afford" to sell cards for less in SGC holders if I need to - I can't sell crap from the 5 orders that I have sitting at PSA from as early as JULY! I can't make $$ on inventory that I can't sell. Secondly, the difference in grading fee allows me "room" to sell an SGC graded card for $75 less (for cards valued under $499) and still be in the same place net should I choose to do so.

The only reason I have heard that gives me any pause is the extra piece of pointy plastic (on the black plastic insert) that another board member found in his recently received slab.

This situation reminds of the "soup nazi" episode of seinfeld!! - NO GRADES FOR YOU!

Well if everyone had just worn their face masks



Guess it is time to raise the prices of all PSA-graded cards to reflect the coming drought.

I think they literally have a two year backlog wouldn't worry yet about a drought.
