SGC'S Aggressive Upcharges

[Lucas00]

Anybody drop off to sgc at the Philly show? Wondering if anybody's order is in the grading process yet.

I just got a message yesterday that my 30 card order is on the way hopefully to be here within a couple days even with the weather in Florida and North Carolina

Perhaps this upgrading price surge is reflective of new management's philosophy: Suck as much out of the collector as possible.

So will PSA eventually just kill the SGC brand, or would that potentially take them into monopoly territory.

They charge what the market will bear. That is perfectly understandable.

What boggles my mind though is how/why so many card collectors are willing to pay the prices SGC/PSA charges for their subjective opinion. And then end up with the card in a plastic coffin.



Me I just say "No."

Not mine either. 4 cards dropped off on Friday 9/20/2024 and as of today nothing. So much for SGC is faster.... I updated this below. Once I downloaded the SGC app I was able to see my cards and where they were in the grading process. Today 8 business days later all 4 cards are in the post grading stage. So I was wrong in stating SGC was slow. As if today they are right on schedule.
