And for that reason the SGC and PSA pop reports directly impact card valuations and the value of collections. SGC has effectively eliminated their population report for pre 1930 cards- the database is so unsearchable it’s useless. I purposely aired my opinions strongly and publicly hoping that it will get more attention (and maybe others will join), than a phone call or email, which I understand from other posts are going unanswered and unreturned anyway.
I am on record numerous times that I prefer SGC over PSA (from a grading perspective), but I have also watched (year after year after year) the value of SGC slabs lose ground to the value of lesser cards in PSA slabs, and it’s all because of the PSA database and registry. What SGC does with its website and its pop report affects the value of every card sitting in an SGC slab. And this recent debacle is no exception. So I am pissed, very pissed. As should others who have cards in SGC slabs should be.

Breaking news.... TMZ reports....Despite a global pandemic and riots in the street, SGC halts all grading card services to address Ryan's multi million dollar pop chart collection demands!
Ryan cheers!
I do understand you're point but don't see the point in bashing a company you endorse on a chat forum? I just don't see the end game with back biting. Just call them and voice you're concerns. I think it will help you get it down. Posting here only slows you're cause.
I could be wrong and who cares.
Happy Collecting to you.
