But peeling back the layers reveals a more complicated picture. The reality of shared staffing, merged operations, and shifting resources suggests that this “boutique” repositioning could be less a renaissance and more a staged retreat.

With much of SGC’s grading staff being absorbed into PSA, and SGC’s Boca Raton facility supporting PSA’s massive daily intake, the brand is losing operational independence.

Collectors’ leadership has poured capital and energy into PSA’s scaling efforts—and with good reason, given PSA’s dominant market share and massive submission volumes.

Meanwhile, SGC is left to shrink and serve a smaller, more niche segment, which some insiders and collectors interpret as a prelude to further downsizing or even eventual shutdown.

This strategic sidelining raises questions: Is SGC genuinely being preserved as a boutique jewel in the grading crown?

Or is it being quietly phased out, with PSA consolidating grading power and market share under its banner?

Here is your answer Quote from Article

“Collectors would let customers determine SGC’s ultimate future by their submissions but that vintage grading would remain “a pillar” for SGC. “We’re committed to the SGC brand.”
