National Card Grading
SGC is winning on the customer service and price front. It seems a little disingenuous for PSA to grade during the National at outrageous prices when people(including me) have been waiting months for them to complete their backlog.

Months??? Some of us have waited over a year. Some of us have packages that have gotten lost that we are not sure if we are ever going to see them again or not. If I was a big shot at SGC, I would say it is a no brainer NOT to grade at the National. While some may not mind the price gouging for the convenience of getting their cards graded at the national, for the average collector, it is sure to leave a sour taste in their mouth.

I understand but it's disappointing to me. I love their service and brand....SGC has the talent, team of people, and skill to pull it off making even more money and new customers along the way. You will miss 100% of the shots by not taking a shot. Peter even says at the start of his statement this National is expected to be gangbusters, why miss this major opportunity?
I'm hoping next year SGC will grade on site at the National. Last edited by Johnny630; 07-23-2021 at 07:12 AM. |

No on-site grading is one thing, but why not accept take home submissions?
That makes even less (indeed zero) sense to me. |

So, SGC is showing up to the National and declining income. If there is a backup in grading, this is understood. If not, hmmm.

Agreed...they should at least do that.

most of their announcements are veiled shots exposing what PSA is not doing

The grading game has experienced unprecedented growth. I am kinda amazed that no one saw this coming while the writing was smack dab in front of them. If the time is ripe for SGC to grow in the grading game, it is now while PSA is experiencing all sorts of hiccups.

So does this mean the bulk of the operation stays back and continues getting out submissions? They are clearly on a roll in FL and this is an unprecedented move--to not grade onsite at the largest show of the year and one that did not take place last year.

Why not just ship the stuff in before leaving rather than dragging it to Chi and then waiting for them to get it back to FL, sort it, etc a week or so later? That makes zero sense to me.

I think he is referring to people that have cards at the show that want to get them graded. IE - walkups.

Also, it would be good for people at show who buy raw or pull things from packs. Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 07-23-2021 at 01:33 PM. |

First off, You’re an anomaly. And I agree with the other guy for us average joe’s, makes way more since to send the average card through the mail for $30 and wait a couple weeks, instead of paying $200 and having it back in a day or two.
Second, just curious, are you really submitting $50K+ cards to SGC?? I mean, I use SGC, but only because I’m a cheap-a**. So, if you do too, I feel better Quote:

Not where I would go with an expensive card these days unless PSA wouldn't grade it.

I have many cards I would like reholdered that are close to or exceed $50k (see a few below), I have one very rare raw T206 HOF fron-backn combo that I want in an SGC slab, and I have a T206 Crawford Brown Lenox, incorrectly labeled by PSA as black, that I want in an SGC slab.
I prefer SGC to PSA, especially with very rare items - I trust SGC infinitely more Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 07-23-2021 at 04:17 PM. |

Not on the sales front, at least for me. Very disappointed at some recent SGC vintage prices realized on ebay. Not even in the vicinity of the PSA equivalent. HOF rookie cards too. And interestingly, on other cards, people only seem interested in knowing if the cards will cross.

Does not sound like they are being bought up by PSA unless of course the reason they are not doing onsite grading is due to the fact they will be grading for PSA at the show.

Does SGC grade autographed cards or not? I have heard here the answer is no, but when I look at their web page, they have them?!?
I have a number of autographed Todd Helton cards that I am considering, much as it pains me to say, getting slabbed. I am not sure I will be alive long enough for PSA to cater to the little people again so I am considering my options. Signed, Confused in Colorado. |

And to the person who gave Nat credit, this phenomena was here well before Nat was around. If a grading scandal does not derail this train, I am not sure it really requires anyone running the company to do much other than keep the doors open.
