Sgc stepping up!

[ullmandds]

I know that it has been mentioned in the other thread’s but not everyone may be aware of this deal that SGC just announced.

The Crossover Special!!!
Pick a card, any card. Only $10!!!

Send in ANY graded card (regardless of value) in a competitor holder for our "Crossover" service for only $10!
So, how much can I submit my '52 Mantle in a PSA 5 for? The answer.....$10!!!
Set your minimums sky high or rock bottom low - it's entirely up to you!
What's the worst that can happen?
Your cards don't meet their minimum grade requirements and are sent back the exact same way in which they were sent in.
What's the best that can happen?
Your cards "cross" to SGC grades as good or even higher than the minimum you set!
Upcharges ONLY apply if the card "crosses" to the designated minimum grade or higher (we will always call for approval for any upcharge necessary).
To take advantage of this limited time offer, please call us at 800.742.9212 or email us at crossover@gosgc.com

Hopefully this will be just the beginning of a resurgence fir SGC...the most consistent of the big tppgersover time.

Viva SGC!!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

[Stampsfan]

IMO a good thing for SGC. My guess is they are trying to get more cards into their (new) holders.
Nothing wrong with them filling a void. I have to say my buying (and looking) habits have changed so much over the past couple of weeks. I cannot trust anything I see, so I need a small break.

I’m going to guess that they won’t have to work extra hours to accommodate the deluge.

How much is the upcharge?

I feel the same way... really only buying modern cards that have released in the past month or so...

Same here.... great post!

So... if I submit a 1952 Topps Mantle PSA 5 for $10 then they charge me $10? But then an upcharge will apply if it crosses. So how much is the 1952 Mantle going to cost?

Yeah, they have a golden opportunity here and they're blowing it by muddying the water.

Really, is that info available somewhere? I have 2 or 3 in BCCG & GAI holders I'd like to move,

When did SGC get new holders? All my recent SGC cards have the same old holders and gaskets. They just have new labels.

[The Nasty Nati]

I'm in...when they go back to flips that don't have size 50 font.

Coming Monday, or at least sometime soon.

I see the reason to promote the crossover at this time, but there is probably still more value in cards that clear PSA's review process. You can't just switch all the Set Registry money guys over to SGC in a year, and probably never. I expect more will leave the card industry rather than restart from scratch with a new grading company.

But if this special can be used to pre-screen cards for PSA's Grade Guarantee and then present SGC's findings of "Altered" to PSA, you would stand a better chance of a refund/current market value. If you set a min grade of 5, if it is altered will SGC just say "Didn't meet min grade" or do they say "Altered: recoloring" when it comes to a crossover submission? Because you could take all your in limbo vintage cards, send them to SGC for a min grade of SGC 10 Pristine+ Never Been Kissed, and they would evaluate them for alterations first. When they assign an EX grade, it doesn't meet their standards for SGC 10. They return all the cards to you for $10 each, in the PSA holders, along with the knowledge that they either didn't make Min Grade or they're Altered.

But if people don't mind if their cards cross over to SGC as a way to get them out of a tainted PSA/PWCC/Moser cert number, it might make some sense. I'd rather see them all returned to PWCC first, PSA second.

Aaah dammit. I was taking comfort in the fact that they had not yet been implicated.

That is only 1 card not 1000s like the others. That could actually just be a mistake by the grader.

The doctors are better than the graders, all graders, period.

I agree ALL the graders at PSA and Beckett suck at their jobs. As bad as they are it would not surprise me if they got paid to pass those altered cards. People just can't be that bad at their jobs and keep them.

There are lots of disturbing allegations on BO about a warm and fuzzy relationship between Beckett and some of the notorious modern trimmers. And an epic thread about supposedly favorable grades for an ex employee.

[pokerplyr80]

This is actually pretty clever marketing as well as great timing. Great for collectors too as you can send cards in trying for a crossover bump. If not successful you're only out 10 bucks + shipping. Just make sure you're sending in cards that if successful will have created enough value to cover the grading fees you will be charged.

Also great for those worried about cards that may or may not be altered and part of this Moser scandal. If nothing else you can get the cards out of holders with cert numbers that have been called out on blow out.
