I no longer submit anymore with such a blatant disregard for customers to either company unless its thru an auction house, they get better service, its time the complainers do the same.

This is 100% spot on for both PSA and SGC.

That can’t be further from the truth. PSA has risen as a Phoenix from the Pandemic and SGC better invest in a customer service phone number and show up. I’ve been grading cards with SGC for probably 23 years and PSA for 20.
If PSA’s CEO can respond to Twitter at 6:19am and have one of his IT staff tell me when an issue is fixed late later that day, while I can’t get Peter to return an email about the re-holdering older cards where the flips printing is fading something is rotten in Denmark.



Here’s a coupon 1 free grade for every 20 cards that was issued over 20 years ago

Huh? What I wrote can't be further from the truth but what I wrote was a reply agreeing with someone's observation's, which I identified with and your reply to me had nothing to do with my sentiment.

Either way, MY opinion is based on MY experience. Your opinion is based on your experience. Ya see how that works? This is not about truth.

Okay. You correct you are entitled to your opinion. Let me restate what I said, My opinion and experience is that it’s not 100% “spot on” that PSA is only focused on customer service for auction houses and have received both email and voice communications from their Chief of Staff and Set Registry Manager based on separate inquiries. Also, their CEO responded with a direct message on Twitter to an issue I flagged on their site after an upgrade.

Just to be clear i only send in a few hundred cards (<300) per year and don’t believe that warrants any special treatment. I’ve just been a loyal customer to both, but am extremely disappointed with SGC’s unresponsiveness.

I can understand how perhaps SGC does not consider it cost effective to encapsulate cards at the National and have to shut down their Boca operation for a week. I would consider it a major improvement if they would just answer the telephone or my email messages. I don't think that is too much to ask. Regards, Paul

That is terrific that your experiences with PSA have been positive with regards to resolving issues. I think most would feel otherwise. It is a fairly large company and as large companies go, great customer service is not something they typically do well. If they are doing a better job for you than SGC is, in that department, I am not shocked. SGC has been a larger company for a much shorter period of time. Not defending them but it might be part of the equation.

Either way, when I pay for their services I am know I am only paying for grading which I expect to be done right. If it can be done timely, terrific but I would not expect either of them to address issues promptly.

I am in the Carl camp. PSA over SGC right now. Does that make it a majority on THIS site? Heck no.
