I just had a similar [great] experience with SGC. I sent them an 1888 OJ, in part because PSA denies their existence. Scott

I will always take value over turnaround time so for me it is worth the wait for PSA. They also seem to be grading more fairly these days.

SGC was turning around submissions in 20 days in Sept 2021 through year-end. There is detailed thread around this time with members sharing their turnaround experience.
they either got 20x more efficient or are seeing 1/20th the business. its the latter. and it isn't good.

Troutbum97- that's an incredible story, wow. I am part of a submission to
SGC that was to have shipped a week ago. Given your experience, I'm eager to see what happens with mine... Regarding the "end goal" for graded cards, mine is accuracy rather than value. After all, value for extravagant collectibles is speculative over time. SGC tends to get the grades right (and no, not always!) By the way, the notion that PSA is grading "more fairly" is just wrong, and a bit homerish. Seems very much like they and SGC are in a peeing contest to see who can be harshest, particularly in vintage. There are many adjectives to use in describing their grading, but "fair" isn't one of them... I am glad SGC is cranking out submissions- after all, it's what they are paid to do ![]() Trent King |

Sent 6 cards to SGC on July 7. Got them back this morning (July 15). An 8 day turn-a-round is fantastic. Plus, I thought the grades were accurate.

So is mine. However, having slabs of a defunct grading company won't be worth anything in terms of accuracy. See CSA , GAI, GEM, etc. I am sure these were "accurate" at the time. Sorry -- I am huge SGC user/supporter but 2-day turnarounds is no way a good thing in the long term.

PSA is getting a lot of business that may have been SGC’s with the $18 per card special this month.

To Oscar Stanage- whoa, hold on there! GAI, GEM, CSA were "accurate"?
No, that's just wrong, and an odd thing for an SGC supporter to say. The opposite was and is the case. SGCs legitimacy as an actual grader isn't an issue, a key difference with those listed above... To be clear, I don't care what acronym the business uses as long as the job is done right. I hope CSG /HGA take off, for example. I know there are a LOT of folks who bank on PSA being held in high regard; however, their current place on top is not guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination. This is why I trust a company that tends to get it right. I guess you could say it's a "gamble", but then again so is throwing all in with PSA... Original topic- my SGC submission sits at around 10 business days. The shipment has been noted as received, no grades yet. Trent King |

I wonder how much of CSG's business is accounted for by the PWCC partnership?
