My big worry is 10 years down the road when new high-end collectors come back to the hobby will they remember SGC and trust that they were a very good grading company worth their investment or not. That’s a question. I don’t know how to answer.

In 10 years, the PSA and SGC brands may be gone and replaced with COLLECTORS ... that could very easily be the plan all along.

A lighthouse tux may be coming soon

That would be awesome. The SGC slab itself sucks but he PSA slab with the awesome black insert around the card would be the perfect combo IMHO.

Most of the current SGC graded cards are fine. Worst case, you'd have to cross over to PSA or -insert flavor of month grading company here-. I don't think it's a huge deal either way.

It costs over $2000 to cross my one big investment card and that is not insignificant to me

I want PSA to offer some sort of crossover special. They brought over graders from SGC so that tells me they think they are more than credible/accurate at what they do. PSA would make a killing at like $15-20/card.

Would wait times to get cards back go back to what they were during COVID?

They make a killing now. They have no incentive to practically give away their product.

I have approximately 1000 SGC Slabs - I won't be crossing over anytime soon....
