In your opinion why don't they restart their registry? That would push more people to crossover their Psa slabs and register. Would be my only complaint.

I know we all LOVE fast shipping so we all must LOVE fast grading too. Question is are they getting it right? I have seen a lot of recently graded material by SGC and from detailed scans and plenty in hand they seem to be crushing vintage over the last 6 months. I do not need or want fast and inexpensive grading if the results of such are cards in 5s/6s that should be lock 7s.

Several have noticed this, along with me. Also, what's with so many 'A' grades? I bought 2 raw '55 Bowman cards last year from the original owner, an Aaron and a Mantle. Both cards were crisp with minimal wear. The Aaron has a bad miscut on the back, so I was unsure how that would grade and they gave it a '5'. The front looks more like a '6-7'. The Mantle had a slight bend (not a crease) along the top border and I was expecting a '5'. It came back 'A' for some reason, so I cracked it out and now it's in a PSA 5 holder.

I've had a similar experience recently.

I think they will eventually. My guess is that it's probably just the cost of setting it up. They might be looking into newer/better options for data storage. They probably lacked the necessary skilled workers to build it "properly" and need to hire them.

moving their existing registry is simply a matter of adding a link to their new website....

They have been promising a "New Improved" registry for years.

Adding the existing registry link is better than nothing ATM

Sounds like you've solved the puzzle then. This is great news! Perhaps you could email them with the link?

Are you happy with the grades? I'm hearing a lot of folks are not happy at the strictness of the grades coming out of SGC these days.

I've been with SGC from Day 1. I'm not buying the recent gripes. They have always been tough and accurate, unlike most other grading companies.

Very happy and always satisfied with SGC and their grading.

Peace, Mike

PS For those who have been around long enough, SGC cards are typically always nicer looking than comps in other grading card holders. Bar none! Been buying the supposed SGC "dip" for years. Try to find SGC T206s now at reasonable prices!
