JSA buys equity stake in SGC

SGC's website just stated that autographed cards will be able to be slabbed. And this doesn't change JSA's relationship with BGS?

Eventually, the affect of this acquisition will come to light. The autograph angle is interesting if JSA is working with 2 prior competitors. This may lead to some form of merger of competitors, even if not announced officially(at least for awhile). With the economy the way it is, may happen.

It just sounds like JSA will now have multiple clients, but that it will continue its relationship with Beckett. So the statement appears accurate.

Fred Y,

I don't think it will "harm" the relationship between Spence and Beckett. It just means Beckett will be seeing less income from autograph submissions.

Unless Spence owns a piece of Beckett do you really think that Spence is going to arbitrarily use Becket to slab the autographs he authenticates? It's in his better interest (his wallet's interest) to use the company that he just dropped a chunk of change on. Does this impact the relationship between Beckett and Spence? Of course not...

I think slabbing autos was something that SGC needed to do. PSA and Beckett had too great of a competitive advantage in these areas. Now SGC just needs to be able to slab oversized premiums (e.g., Butterfinger), photos, and memorabilia autos (e.g., balls, bats).

Not to worry, Michael and Sean will still be going strong in the industry. It will just be another name other than SGC.

Their expertise and trust in the industry is just what a start up grading company needs to be competitive and to grow.

Keep an eye out, they'll be popping up in due time.

Verisleeve?

You'd have to ask them... I know they love the industry and are committed to continue to serve it.

Where? All I found was that they won't grade autographed cards
