Does anyone know why SCD got out of the grading business?

From what I heard back at the time
They apparently were not profitable in their grading operation - not enough cards were being submitted to justify the salaries and other costs.

That's it exactly. Then-publisher Steve Ellingboe petitioned the company to start a grading service not long after PSA debuted. Ownership dragged their feet until Beckett got into the gaem. By that time Steve was gone and the whole idea of going up against both PSA and BGS should have been scrapped.

Good info.
Does anyone know the back story of the blue label SCD company? I see them on ebay with the blue sports cards direct label. Sounds like they tried to man a sinking ship. Jim

I wasn't involved in the sale, but I know they bought one of SCD's two slabbing machines, all of its unused plastic, etc. I think they created the blue label in similitude to the original red SCD label to try to ride the coattails.

SCD Grading
A little late to the game on this one but I thought I would mention that I had great success when I crossed over my SCD red labels to PSA. They graded very well in my opinion and were particularly harsh on back centering on some of the cards I had.
