Eta: lol nope, get to wait longer it seems.

Yay, shipped! Can't say I'm upset about the results. Only one is lower than expected (8.5, I thought it would get a 9), but 4 10s and a 9.5 on the others! Both of the Prizm are now upgrades to the versions I have now.

Nice Jordy PC you got going there!

[Giroux]

Those are awesome, congrats on the grades

[bojesphob]

Thanks! I may end up selling the non Prizm stuff, haven't decided yet. The upgrade for the red has me most excited! The other copy I've had since it came out only got a psa 7, and was hoping I could get a 10 out of this new copy. I have a Purple that just came in that I'm hoping to send in soon, and it is as good as the red and blue here.

Hey all, here's another change I've noticed on the SGC web site. On the "My Profile" page when logged in, it shows your name, Customer Name, Email, Phone Number, Shipping Address, etc.
Well, it used to also show your SGC Customer Number. The unique ID/account number SGC assisted to your account. Now that's gone.

What that means? I don't know. Might be nothing at all. Might be a cosmetic change to the web site that means nothing.

...or the conspiracy theorist out there might think this is part of a developing change where Collector's Universe may fold the SGC accounts into the PSA customer database (and merge accounts/logins down the road), and thus, they had to remove this info on display since the SGC Customer Number would change.

Weird. May be nothing, but it was noteworthy since I always added this to any customer service emails to ensure they found my account easier. Now it's gone.

I don't have it in the main area, but it still shows on my order invoices.

15 Card Sub:

Submitted: 8/11
Delivered: 8/14
Received: 8/14
Post Grading: 8/26

I know its shorter, but post grading to shipped feels like the longest.

SGC seems to be getting back to their sub 15 day TAT.

Anyone use the “immediate “ grading at $40 a card recently? Just curious how the turnaround time compares to the standard 15TAT

I did a couple months ago when they were slammed, still promised the 1-2 day turn around and they delivered on it. It did take them 2 days to get into the system but that was a while ago so i would assume thats also caught up

I just saw this posted on SGC’s web site:





Not a big deal, but worth noting in case you have a pre-saved address when firing off USPS labels for orders. Just a heads up.

I wonder if this was a smaller suite that PSA bought and now they have swapped. PSA taking the bigger already built out SGC location. PSA setup the new location from the start to be a smaller SGC footprint. Would love to see the lay of the land on these two suites.

Every day this gets worse and worse for collectors. I don't even know if SGC really exists right now. The same people grading PSA cards could be grading SGC for all we know.

It would not surprise me in the future to see SGC contact you if your card grades high and you get the option of slabbing it with PSA for a fee of $250 to vault with them. I am not happy with this situation, but I will keep on using them for now.

Just had a small SGC order arrive back how today. All PC vintage football cards.

Here are two stand outs:





I don't care if I'm the last guy using SGC. I have no desire to grade with any other company (aside from a few isolated PSA and PSA/DNA sets I setup long before PSA tanked big time. Mostly Rickey Henderson cards.)

I'll be sure to flip the light off at SGC when I'm officially the last guy using them.

Sending in another 5 card order with them this week. The last grading company without mystery packs, vending machines, and vaulting.

Nice!

I usually send a 5-20 card order to SGC every 2-3 weeks.
Nearly all PC stuff.

I've done 2 orders with SGC and so far, both orders I have received excuses why they won't grade a card and why they slabbed this one upside down. Seems to be a lot of common sense lacking there.

26 card order should arrive today or tomorrow. I assume mine will take longer than most as some are new to their database.

[SteigerWRX]

I didn't see it mentioned here, but did anyone notice how they quietly removed the "*" and note on their homepage that stated that "due to increase demand they TEMPORARILY increased their turn-around time"? Making it seem like the 15-20 business days is standard and here to stay (even if they try to get them done sooner).
