Yeah...it is disappointing. They do a better job than any of the grading companies overall in terms of accuracy...from my pov. I also prefer their holder.

Does not sound like they are being bought up by PSA unless of course the reason they are not doing onsite grading is due to the fact they will be grading for PSA at the show.

Does SGC grade autographed cards or not? I have heard here the answer is no, but when I look at their web page, they have them?!?

I have a number of autographed Todd Helton cards that I am considering, much as it pains me to say, getting slabbed. I am not sure I will be alive long enough for PSA to cater to the little people again so I am considering my options.

Confused in Colorado.

I don't recall the disparities I am seeing in prices ever being this great.

These are unprecedented times. Truly.

It is not a shock. All the hype in the market is about PSA graded material. The product now promotes itself.

And to the person who gave Nat credit, this phenomena was here well before Nat was around. If a grading scandal does not derail this train, I am not sure it really requires anyone running the company to do much other than keep the doors open.
