Collectors (PSA) Acquired SGC

The Detroit Collector · #1 03-02-2024, 03:21 PM

I was looking through some cards and noticed I have some graded by Sports Collectors Digest. A reputable company back in the day that got bought out as well. I don't see SCD slabs anymore these days, but if I did, I doubt you would have to pay the same price as a PSA or SGC graded version.
Point I am trying to make is, as some have mentioned, if SGC is no longer a company in the future, I can see the value of low tier SGC slabbed cards dropping.

If I see an SCD graded card, I put a premium on it over PSA (I'm sure nobody else does)

Unfortunately SCD didn't grade many cards. I'll always keep the few SCD graded cards that I own encapsulated in the SCD slabs. If for nothing else, for historical collecting significance. Who knows, maybe someday some knuckleheads will put a value on the plastic and flip

ROI baby.. (insert vomit emoji)...

You don't, thankfully. I look for the red logo ones.
