I would think this is fairly obvious. The only reason the card has any value is the PSA Set Registry for HOF RCs. There is no demand for ungraded or non PSA-graded cards of him.

There is a thread on Blowout about absolutely abominable prices on CSG/CGC. This is not a one off thing.

Sounds like a real kick in the shins.
Not real surprising considering they’re still relatively new, and the market doesn’t seem like it’s ready to accept their stuff just yet. That could always change in the future, but they don’t seem to be there yet. In some ways, it’s a chicken/egg thing, because people won’t want to get their stuff graded there until the slabs are valued by the market, yet the market won’t buy in unless they’re more popular, and there’s a positive trend to get the party started. I suspect the discount would have been smaller on mid grade stuff, particularly outside of a rookie card.

Same with SGC and now BGS. It's PSA or nothing, pretty much.

SGC has lagged for a while, but not this badly. Beckett seems to be collapsing. I just hope Star Basketball, which does not cross well to PSA due to centering for some of the major cards, retains value.

As a buyer, I completely disregard anything in their holders. SGC on vintage, PSA on new stuff. I'm only commenting because I am not special, I can only imagine there are many, many like me. I have no issue with them in all reality, and am not some loyal grading company nut (in fact, necessary evil as far as I'm concerned), just literally zero interest in anything in their holders. If I was in the market for that card, I would have scrolled past it without a second look...regardless of price.

I've only got a couple of cards in their earliest type of holder. They look nice, but I didn't expect them to make me a lot of money. How can anyone hope to break the monopoly PSA has on grading cards? I think if some entity showed up with a good looking holder, established a registry, and used non-biased "machine grading" instead of human opinion, they might have a chance to become the new standard. Otherwise, I think people will continue to pay to have PSA grading and SGC will continue to be in second place.
