SGC is in fact flooded right now. They even had to increase their stated turnaround times as a result. One data point does not indicate a trend. Go look further back than just this last month. SGC demand is stronger than ever. The fact that they graded fewer cards could be attributable to numerous other factors that have nothing to do with consumer demand. 1. There were fewer working days last month than there were in the month and year/month prior. 2. International submissions were down due to the impact of tariffs. 3. They are preparing to share space with PSA. Surely some resources are being allocated to the logistics of that project. 4. Even just one grader going on vacation for a month could impact output by ~3%. If multiple graders are out at the same time, that number gets larger. If any graders quit or get fired, that will impact volume as well. I could go on, but you get the point.
