PSA to open a new joint SGC/PSA location in FL

[ClementeFanOh]

This "acolyte" is amused by the term "enclave". Some people just can't
seem to understand that competition is healthy, and benefits the hobbyist
who uses the slabbing services. Not quite as easy as 2+2= 4, but pretty
darn close. Shaking my head at the myopia...

Sincerely (not really),

"Abbot" Trent King (or maybe "Novice-master", not sure which I prefer)

You could always go with a slash. Abbot/novice-master! Although for my money, you can't go wrong with Hieromonk.

And I really have nothing against SGC. May they live long and prosper!

I will confess that I do derive sick pleasure from poking the bear from time to time, just to get a rise out of team SGC, simply because the response is perpetually so deliciously over the top.

The element around being absolutely opposed to a single farthing going to PSA while concurrently spending a lot at SGC does seem unusual to me, considering that they are under the same corporate parent, and therefore the odds are high that the residual cash flow ends up in the same shared parent bank account at some point.

This isn't some giant conglomerate where the "parent" is a distinct enterprise with separate businesses beneath it. Nat Turner runs this show.

I do find it interesting that Collectors also picked Plano, TX for the other location. Wonder in what proximity to Beckett will they be located and if that city choice suggests a move to acquire the grading segment.

[parkplace33]

Each of the two locations will have its own focus. The Plano, Texas location which is expected to be online by July of this year, will be the centralized hub for ticket authentication and grading, which makes sense given the rapidly growing popularity of the sector. The Boca Raton, Florida location, which will share space with Collectors Universe counterpart SGC, will primarily focus on card grading and although collectors wont be able to directly submit to that location in the beginning maybe PSA will one day in future allow collectors to submit directly to that location.

To me, this is concerning for the SGC Brand.
