Hopefully SGC will have a good one soon for those so inclined. I like their grading (and BVG grading) much better than PSA's....

Yup! Seems collectors need to show off because as you suggest there are numerous ways to host a collection online but they do not come with awards, recognition and a dinner honoring the best. It is not what you do when people are looking but what you do when they aren't.

I am on the set registry and dont have any interest in some sort of way to show off. It helps keep track of the cards and if I ever sell being high up on the registry increases the value of an entire set. I dont think the SGC registry has that dynamic. SGC cards dont cross over consistently because they grade cards more liberally. I dont want cards in less valuable holders with a company that is less stable. I am also life long investor in real estate, stock and bonds etc. Now that the cards are so valuable I treat them like an investment and my investment is safer, more valuable and more desirable in PSA holders. With all that said I do admit they are a pain in the but to deal with.
