SGC Grading Discounted Bulk Submission Service through Sports Card Investor: www.sportscardinvestor.com/grading/

[@drewpro81]

Thanks, Geoff! One thing I can say from reading the comment section is our hobby has some major black eyes in it. Some people are so nasty in this hobby. We all have our opinions but I find it funny how outrageous some of these people are online, yet if they went to SGC they would probably be in awe of the business they’ve built over the years. We need kids in this hobby so it will last for generations to come, not adults acting like kids.

[@spyderanaheim2128]

Do you have any help on prepping or getting cards ready to submit cards as well ?

[@RealSPT]

How long dose the grading process take

[@SMOU1]

I BET if SGC offered $20 a card graded, add $5 bucks for sub grades if you want, and fixed their label so it was more aesthetically pleasing they would go from every card being 30% to 35% percent less than PSA to about 15 percent overnight. They are well known in the industry and have been around for over 20 years. Why they continue to sip coffee and think of strategies to improve when it is so obvious is baffling to me.

[@drewpro81]

@@SMOU1 You are on to something. Just making labels color match the main color in a card would fix a ton. Times change and card grading companies are living in the stone ages.

Also, digging the tuxedo black backdrop from the card, cards really pop out.

I like the SGC and their quality but why should I invest in grading my cards with them when I get half of what I would get with a PSA with same grade. Not sure how that can be fixed but their needs to be some mutual respect for the major card grading companies in regards to grade acknowledgement and price. I understand some collectors will prefer 1 grade company over the others but their can't be this much of a price difference. In doing so says that one grading company's grade is illegitimate.

[@ricecakejohnson]

Geoff, you dont even believe in SGC tho.....LOL. Naw, but for real tho, nice and informative video. I like SGC, but I am gonna be honest, with all the price increases, I just dont think SGC will prevail once PSA opens back up. Especially when SGC is charging the same price(if not, higher)then what PSA is charging per card. Also, since the price increases, its not like we can send in cheap cards anymore. We can only send in cards that actually make sense and can be profitable, and we all know which grading company gets the most return for your investments as of right now. I think PSA is charging $25.00 per card once they open back up, and if SGC wants to compete with them, I m thinking $20-22 per card should be a very competitive rate(plus SGC service is alot quicker). Once PSA is all caught up, I think all the grading companies(especially now with HGA and CSG in play)will be much much slower just because they will probably not see cards valued less then $20.00 since the price of grading is $25.00 and up.

@@gemelsipincards430 The market is overspeculated on and it has caused a rapid increase in the value or price of cards and sealed product across multiple TCG's. It went from a collector oriented market to an investor oriented market. I'm not pro grading or anti grading. I prefer to collect sports and Pokemon as a hobby, sleeve them in binders/top loaders, and I don't intend on grading cards due to the price of grading being rather expensive. Feel like the graded card market and speculators of graded/grading cards has caused an increase in a false or inorganic value of cards. But it is what it is and people will speculate and pay what they feel like a card is worth, even without merit or intrinsic value.
