SGG at the National - Onsite Grading?

[Yoda]

SGC will never be able to really compete with PSA unless they integrate a POP Count and Set Registry into their business platform. It is clearly something that submitters want and without these features they suffer. Maybe they are just content to slide along and be happy with 2nd place.
I suspect one of their problems is insufficient or inaccurate data.

When they changed the cert number system and their original grading scale, the registry all went to hell. Worst move they ever made.

They didn't want people making connections about cards being in the same sub, that was painfully obvious. Part of fraud proofing the company, along with trashing the G in SGC. stopping autograph authentication, making clear the owner and employees were submitting, etc.

. So long as the E-Bay listing seller disclaims way down in the description area , that the seller of said listed card is employed by the company which applied the grade and label to the card being sold , then what could possibly go wrong ? You all need to have faith in the people in our hobby. Many of them are fairly honest sometimes.

Damn that is pretty overt and in your face. Hilarious that the fanboys feel no shame in the open support of a company whose allegiances are with that aspect of the hobby. PSA is not much better if they are even better at all in any respect.

What does that tell you about the state of the hobby that this is where the top 2 authentication services stand?

The fanboys never seem to address these points. Quick turnaround, within two grades of accurate, is all that matters.

An yes...just like the cheap and fast shipping that PWCC used to provide. Did not matter they were knee deep in fraud and the cards these guys were buying had been shaved, etc.

What does a registry really do for anyone? All these posts and mantras about buying the card and not the holder, or putting down registry hounds for paying absurd prices for half grades, an there are still all these complaints about a registry so you can do the same things.

People are hooked on the registry... it's uniformity, it's bragging rights, it's egos, the list goes on and and for what it does for people.

Registry and Pop both of which PSA Owns, are the SYNOPSIS with the Industry across the board. It's liquid Gold.
