Anyone hear of SGC plans to grade on-site at the National?

[Zan]

I'd presume based off of experience of past Nationals and current turnaround times that SGC will likely not grade on-site this year but I guess you never know. I suppose we will be hearing soon.

I am fairly certain they are not, otherwise, they would have announced by now. Par for the course.

They were not set up at the DCS for the 1st time in a long time earlier this month. Whether or not that means anything is not something I can venture a guess about

I thought I saw somewhere that PSA was pulling the plug

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

They were not at Chantilly for the first time in a long time as well.

I contacted sgc to ask if I'll be able drop off a submission to the SGC booth?

The reply was less than satifying. I was told that they "are still finalizing our plans for the National. When our plans are finalized we'll make many announcements on our website and social media platforms."

2 weeks out and they can't confirm if I can drop off a submission at the National????

Thanks, that is the first time I am hearing of what they are doing at the National. I hope they didn't make that decision today

Naturally, one wonders what the big secret is that they can't announce this so that people can make plans ? Customer relations = zero

[Lorewalker]

The PR "dept" is too busy posting on IG the latest shiny 10 that they graded.

Clearly they do not care or cannot care if the word gets out so it will be the 114 people who read this thread over the next 2 days prior to the National who will know they can drop off subs. Absolutely stellar.

To anyone submitting, it might be wise to ask if the cards being submitted will be coming back in SGC or PSA holders. I would not assume they get a tux.

If you are going to the National today, can you give a report of the SGC setup there? Are they with PSA or standalone? Taking submissions? What are they promoting/saying?

The cancer that is Collectors/PSA has rampantly spread to SGC. SGC used to have the best customer service and customer relations in the industry (sorry, can't say "hobby" anymore).

Do not support corrupt companies that care nothing about you or fellow collectors. Do not display your beloved cards diagonally in crumpled baggies. Do not pay top-dollar for the worst customer service, highest prices, longest wait-times, and least consistent grading in the industry.

Make PSA the exclusive TPG of Pokemon. They are already 80% of the way there, and really have no business grading vintage sportscards.
