Years down the line, when it's time to sell the collection, they can always be crossed over or cracked and submitted to the current company of choice if the value justifies it.

Much easier said than done on the crossover.

General comment: I read a lot of people stating they are SGC buyers no matter what. Are you though? Looking forward, let's say the worst happens and the brand goes away. An SGC graded card that sold for 1K in 2025 starts to lose significant value as the years pass. Are you eagerly going to pay $500 for it now? I don't think I would.
