They’ve always specialized in vintage but dabbled in modern. We are headed down the whole self fulfilled prophecy territory of SGC’s demise to me.

We are on the exact same page. I just made this post in another thread...
"Also.... they have removed SGC from all regional card shows. This was the method by which a huge chunk of SGC's customers would submit (to avoid potential damage/loss in shipping). Since they've enacted this wonderful collector-friendly policy, SGC's submissions have plummeted.
They are squelching SGC on purpose, and will soon issue a statement something like.... "Due to dwindling customer demand, Collectors has made the decision to disband SGC, blah blah blah."
They
intentionally create the problems, and thereby remove the vintage card collector's only viable option. Not the kind of company I would ever support.
