SGC has won me over as well. I sent in about a few cards on Memorial Day weekend 2021. Had them back in 8 days minus the holiday. And the grading was very reasonable as I turned in some “average” cards - this summer I will be turning in my best (imo) cards. Albeit I went for the 20-30 day turn around, had it back in 8 days for more than one card. They’re doing great.

Reality is good business practices matter. PSA and BGS opened the door for SGC and SGC has proven to be a well run business and is going to capitalize big. I'd rather have "less value" in 2 weeks with SGC than "more value" in 12 months with PSA. And the price gap is closing.

I think SGC is hurting because their cards aren't selling for as much as the other companies and a lot of people actually tried to get their cards into HGA, including myself. My two cents worth is is that they don't have as much business as all of the other companies. In addition when they pulled that $75 stunt they completely turned me off.

SGC rocks. Im not in the USA, and one thing that SGC did that really impressed me was to include a letter to customs explaining that the cards never exchanged ownership and hence do not qualify for a imports tax. Such a nice touch, which Beckett and PSA do not take. Also, fair and consistent grades, in my experience.

I find SGC very consistent. Centering is the big one with them, has to be dead on if your looking for 10s. PSA is corners/edges, HGA is hard on surface. SGC 10 aren't that hard to get, but you definately have to be extra critical of what your sending in. If your not thinking "this card is perfect" when you send it in, then it's got no chance.
@CardCollex

Agree. An SGC 10 is similar to 5 years ago’s PSA 10. Also I feel like PSA is giving out so few 10’s now that I’m way better off having an SGC 9.5 in a month than a PSA 9 a year from now.

You are absolutely spot on I just sent in 10 cards to SGC and I had two cards that were dead centered but had surface issues (both were 2016 Optic) and to my surprise I pulled both 10s. Then I had two 2020 Prizm cards fresh out of the pack and one pulled a 8.5 and the other was a 9 ! and both cards were slightly off centered top to bottom and thats all I can see that was an issue. Overall I thought the grades were fair and now I know their criteria. I just sent another sub in with some older cards to test how they are on edges and corners

Thanks! I have a Canon M50 that I use mainly. It also works as a webcam with just a mini USB to USB. I use my phone for top down video and normally record the Face/cards separately so that I can adjust each if I need to. I edit with Adobe Premiere and use a Blue Yeti mic when I’m at home and do some small audio edits in premiere as well. I use Streamlabs OBS to livestream with multiple video inputs phone/M50/on screen display and I can record videos with that as well although the quality through streamlabs isn’t as good as using the actual video files. Hope that helps. Best of luck with your channel.

Same here, even though the 60 days means buisness days, which is close to 86 days. A lot of people do not realize that. However, the cards are still late after the 60 buiness days or 86 days. I also do not like how much the cards shake in the cases nor do I like the fact there are errors on some of the labels. For example Jocic, not Jokic. WTF is Jocic? If they can't spell names correctly, htf do they grade cards correctly. To me, it is all attention to detail. I'm still waiting for my CSG order from months ago when they promised fast turn around as well. C u soon SGC.
