Ironically, less than an hour before I received that email yesterday I received an email asking me to join the PSA Collector's Club for all of the great benefits. Nope.

Just got this from SGC.

SGC CONTINUES TO GRADE CARDS AND SHIP ORDERS

We're happy to say that, as of 3/18/20, SGC is operating at full capacity with no changes to grading services whatsoever. We are taking the current situation very seriously and our team has taken the proper precautions at our office to mitigate risk.

We are advising all to continue submitting orders as usual and we're looking to remain fully operational for as long as possible. In the event that this has to change, we have contingency plans in place to continue processing and shipping orders through this difficult time.

We thank you for your continued support and hope to see your cards soon.


Take Care,
The SGC Team

All the way down. Maybe this will help them from circling the bowl, and will pick up market share

What rotten luck! I sent a 5-day turnaround 2 days ago. PSA received it yesterday at 11am.

I think they will retain that position of circling the bowl for many more years just like they have been for a very long time.

SGC is my go to grading company but they do just enough to get by. Still waiting for Monday.

Support SGC, we need them more than ever even if the virus scare gets resolved promptly. Be Safe.

It isn't always about the prices realized.

Besides, SGC is gaining ground with many collectors and hopefully they will not screw the pooch and know how to capitalize on this turnabout.

True.....but it's an absolute huge part. That's like saying "location doesn't matter"....then wonder why your business shuts down because you went for the cheapest rent with no foot traffic. For all their faults, PSA gets my business. That is who the public bids on.

Since it's turned into PSA vs. SGC all over again, I'll cast my vote for SGC all the way. I am a collector so I like cards that are graded correctly. SGC is much, much more consistent and accurate than PSA and doesn't have that teeny foundational issue of, um, corruption at it's core. I'll stick with the grader that actually gets the grades right.

PS- please save your card images of "the exception rather than the rule" variety. I never said SGC was perfect, just the most consistent.
