I appreciate and respect your comments above however to me SGC's bread and butter is their respected, trusted, and widely utilized by the Collector and Investor Vintage Sports Card Grading. Hopefully they remain focused to their core business.

+1 agree but cannot blame them for wanting to follow the money. Since that is their business and they are not a charity

I agree, but it makes you wonder with the business decisions they have made (or not made) over the last 5 years.

I like SGC, but I think they are content with being second.

There is an ever decreasing market in older sports cards as more and more get graded. Unless you count re-submits, they are slowly, but steadily, working towards a finite limit of the number of cards that might be submitted for grading. As a business, they have to keep targeting new markets.

I'm not surprised.

I wonder how SGC Modern/Ultra Modern Sell in Relation To PSA?

Do buyers pay the same or close to premium as they do on Pre War?

Depends on the sport, but on average, most SGC 10 slabs sell for around 50% to 70% of PSA 10 slabs for modern cards.
