Troutbum97- that's an incredible story, wow. I am part of a submission to
SGC that was to have shipped a week ago. Given your experience, I'm
eager to see what happens with mine...
Regarding the "end goal" for graded cards, mine is accuracy rather than
value. After all, value for extravagant collectibles is speculative over time.
SGC tends to get the grades right (and no, not always!) By the way, the
notion that PSA is grading "more fairly" is just wrong, and a bit homerish.
Seems very much like they and SGC are in a peeing contest to see who
can be harshest, particularly in vintage. There are many adjectives to
use in describing their grading, but "fair" isn't one of them...
I am glad SGC is cranking out submissions- after all, it's what they are paid
to do
