FYS"It is my understanding that they bought the rights to the SCD grading name from Krause. They were set up at the National, from what little I've seen and heard they are not in the same league as their predessesor."
I think they just bought SCD's equipment (slab sealers, label printers etc.) The fact that their acronym stands for Sports Cards Direct tells me they did not buy any name and are praying on the brand appeal of the SCD abbreviation. Then again, SCD has done nothing to distance themselves from these guys, which is also surprising. Maybe they are paying on an installment basis for the equipment and SCD is bearing with the brand stealing until they receive all of their money?
