I like the new slabs.
I don't think their ads are any more deceptive than 1000s of auction house write ups I've seen that breathlessly say "none higher" and stuff like that when what they really mean is none higher for that specific grader. Last edited by Snapolit1; 10-01-2018 at 01:47 PM. |

You really hate SGC huh? Judging by your constant barrage of posts, I don’t think I hate anyone or anything as much as you hate SGC. It’s unnatural and probably bad for the soul. Let it go.

Hate? Nah, just a devil's advocate. I am a PSA homer; no qualms about that. Just the "OUT PERFORM ALL THE REST" schtick is getting under my skin. If a 7 that sets a record for 7s outperformed all the rest, it would certainly outperform a 6.5 sold a year ago graded by PSA.
They also are comparing PSA 10 prices to their SGC 100 Pristine cards, when they should only be comparing them to BGS realized prices, because PSA doesn't offer a Pristine grade. There's plenty of SGC homers and PSA bashers on the board; figured it's worth it to be a counterpoint.

I actually like the SGC new design and have noticed decent prices on the new holders but obviously if you can just reholder the old older to the new holder then that waters that down

I think PSA 10s from the latest generation of holder is close to the "Pristine" standard. They are much, much tougher than they used to be.

It seems to me that PSA graded cards sell for more, sometimes a lot more, than their SGC counterparts due to their active set registry. Both are capable graders, SGC holders are OK (I hate the big numbers though), but in terms of resale value I don’t think it is even close.
