SGC's Message Board Gone?

[Neal]

What a shame

SGC HAD a nice opportunity to really provide some competition for PSA .... 10 years ago. Nothing.

SGC needs new ownership plain and simple.

Agreed....what NOT to do for a business would be a perfect market study for them.

unfortunately the only real value for SGC is their brand, and it appears that aint worth much.

You have to be big to make it scale in that business; both to build the brand and the operations to grade cards. SGC is probably at a cross-roads where they need an investor or some capital; essentially betting on the come that this investment will bring them on par with PSA.

Maybe no-one wants to put their money on the table?

The board went down sometime last weekend - I sent an email to Matt (as I thought also that it was say MY account was suspended.

Response from Matt :

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's not saying your account is suspended it's saying the SGC message board account has been suspended. I am not sure what this is about but I will contact our web manages immediately and keep you updated.
Thanks,Matt

That was Sept 3 - I wondered how long it would take for it to hit these boards - 1 full week. So yea not a whole lot of traffic heading to the SGC Boards. I'm guessing that everyone there has headed North now so I expect not a lot going to happen on it anytime soon. So sounds like either the board is being overhauled (and Matt doesnt know it) or someone didnt payy a bill. Either way not real reassuring to this long time SGC supporter.

I agree.

SGC has become like the SF Giants this year . . . totally irrelevant.

I wish the SF Giants were totally irrelevant. They just beat my Rockies 2 games to zip.
