First of all, it's SGC (but I agree that has always confused me, too, i.e., isn't it Sports Card Guarantee afterall?)

Second of all, yes SGC is paying me for my posts. They pay me in consistent grading, excellent customer service and pretty black plastic inserts that make my cards really "pop" in scans.

If PSA "paid me" in the same currency, they would also get my support.

Sportscard is one word (at least in their world.) SGC = Sportscard Guarantee Corporation.

Sorry (I ment SGC, eventhough it says Sports Card Guaranty on the back), I like SGC and was not trying to step on anyone's toes. The only problem I have ever had with them is that they chargerd me full grading price for a trimmed 34 Gehrig and a trimmed 48 Leaf Williams. I wrote the trimmed value in the form and they called me and said that they had to charege me a higher price due to there markwt value for the grading (they both looked mint to the naked eye). I think it was a extra $40 bucks.

I agree it is totally confusing.

Chris when did this happen. I have sent in cards from $1- $12000 to SGC and even though they are worth that I only insure for what I paid for them. $400 paid - $1200 sellable value. I take that risk on myself but SGC has never forced me to pay more ever, nor have they asked.

Has this happened to anyone else

Sorry for the delay! It was last summer. I ended up selling the cards for a little profit to make up for the $40 bucks but I still think I got screwed.
