Well technically SGC is apart of the big 3 companies generally regarded in this hobby as experts. In my opinion, SGC has credibility and can be trusted. No company is 100% but we trust them to grade our cards and be fair.
I think it was the owner's preference I guess. |

I know a few guys who were big PSA guys (and they never liked BGS) who have begun using SGC since they started making their recent changes. New holder. New registry coming. Etc. They were fed up with PSAs service and wait times. Now these guys aren't all about resale so there's that. But I wouldn't discount SGC entirely.

If PSA says "no go" then BGS says "no go" you give your modern card to SGC
If PSA says "no go" then SGC says "no go" you give your vintage card to BVG

I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be graded PSA or BGS? That’s kinda odd....and don’t give me the aesthetics of SGC, that’s bogus. If this is your card and you are selling I’m assuming you are getting some advice from super smart people, at no point do those super smart people say “you should have it graded by SGC”.

Course, maybe you’re not getting advice from anybody. At which point I don’t think anyone goes “I think I should have it graded by SGC”.

I got my first mid/late-2000s rookie cards graded by SGC because their rep would stop by my LHS for pickups - mostly vintage obvs, but I saw no reason not to use them at the time of my return to the hobby.

I don't know how much basketball guys deal with SGC, but for vintage baseball (and I mean pre-war vintage), one of the benefits of grading with SGC is they will not list "trimmed" or "altered" on their flip, unlike PSA.
So if you have a T206 Ty Cobb, for example, which was slightly trimmed, PSA will brand it "Authentic" but the flip will read "trimmed" or "altered." With SGC, it would just write "A" on the flip, whether restored, trimmed, whatever. See here, for example: ![]() ![]() Bottomline the SGC A label would make me suspicious of any card, but especially a modern one.

Grading this card with SGC is a joke. If not for any reason other than the doubt it will raise about its authenticity and being free from alteration. |
