The first Related Post under that SCD article is where SCD interviews both PSA and SGC on their Card Grading process. So I think if the author waited a little longer, PSA and SGC would have responded.

Also, I wonder why Beckett wasn't contacted. According to their website, their inner sleeve is: "Each card is protected by a crystal clear archival inner sleeve to prevent the holder itself from damaging the card. Each card will be virtually free of internal movement." I wonder if it is mylar?

Gary,

The Beckett insert is not Mylar but I still like the fact that they at least protect the card from moving around with their sleeve. If I was a TPG right now, I'd be investing in Mylar sleeve coverings for each card before slabbing. Sounds like a pretty easy fix. Which of course means that it will never happen!

Peace, Mike

I collect old surfing magazines as well as baseball cards and I store every magazine in a Mylar sleeve backed by an acid free piece of cardboard to
reduce any humidity and provide stability. It will be interesting to watch in 10 or 20 years how the slabs hold up...
