Poll: Are you concerned about buying SGC graded vintage cards?

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 voted no. I will still buy an SGC card if I like the card. As Neal said, who knows if PSA, as we know it, is still the grader of flavor in 10 years. Plus, how many "older" graded PSA cards aren't up to snuff due to the change in grading standards? And will those standards change again?

Actually, there might be a buying opportunity if SGC slabs getting the cold shoulder from buyers. It's all about the card inside the holder. I won't buy some PSA/SGC cards because I don't like the card in the holder. And if I can get a discount on a nice SGC card, all the better.

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

I voted NO.

Hopefully Collectors doesn't completely kill off SGC with their asinine changes.

Regardless, If the grade and price fits what I'm looking for I'll still continue to buy SGC cards even if they go belly up tomorrow.
