It also aligns anecdotally with what I'm seeing on other forums and chat groups I've been in where a lot of submitters are making the transition over to SGC now because their turnaround times and customer service have been so good lately. Plus, the gap in sales prices between them and PSA has been narrowing. All are good signs for SGC. Also worth noting is that a lot of people were holding out in anticipation that PSA would have reopened bulk grading by now. I think they're slowly realizing that this actually isn't going to happen any time soon, so they're more willing to try out other options now.

great intel. thank you. however I do not see any demand for SGC in the secondary market outside of pre-war. I was just offered a 40% discount on a perfect SGC 9 gretzky listed card I have and could not get a dollar more. the general population of collectors does not respect SGC unfortunately. the pre-war collector is typically more knowledgeable, which is why SGC=PSA in pre-war resale generally.

yup, totally agree. it's actually not a horrible idea to buy up a bunch of SGC vintage/modern stuff and submit to PSA down the line (assuming one thinks they'll reopen bulk at some point, which i figure they will - at the very least, they need that registry customer who wants to slab a candy maldonado card).

The registry is the reason for the price differential. PSA has a great registry; SGC doesn’t.

has anyone received an order back from SGC in the last week? If so, what was the date SGC received the order? I am trying to get the most updated timing as I am still waiting.
