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

[parkplace33]

When Collectors bought SGC, I thought the SGC brand would disappear in 1-2 years. I still stand by that thought.

If it does happen, I believe the following will take place;

1. SGC will stop taking submissions. All cards at SGC would be graded and mailed.
2. Collectors would say that the SGC brand will be going away, psa is the way to go, etc.
3. NO statement would come out about crossing. SGC card owners would need to decide what to do, if anything.
4. Life goes on. Card owners, if they wanted to grade, will use PSA, CGC, etc.

That is a limited explanation. What about all the millions of cards sitting in SGC slabs? This has to be the worst environment in which to try to crossover a card. PSA starts at -2 on the grading scale for most of the raw cards submitted to them. No incentive for them to grade SGC crossovers fairly.

True, except for the more equal animals on the farm.

I will be frank. In this scenario, Collectors doesn’t care. It’s all about the future.

LOL. Thanks for being frank. We all know that Collectors does not care. Not sure there is anything in the hobby more obvious than that. I was speaking with respect to the OWNERS of the millions of SGC slabs most of which will not crossover at remotely the same grade.

And it is not about the future. It is all about the money and that is ok. The hobby is not a non profit.

Again, nothing. People who own those slabs will need to decide what to do, if anything.

If it were just dollars and cents, I might sell now.
