Have 9 submissions (376 cards) sitting at PSA and have had 3 small submissions (12 cards) submitted and returned from SGC. Pleased with the grades and love the TUX! Great content and feel your experience and insight was very helpful!
Awesome video, some really good info and there are gonna be alot of PSA fanboys who will not agree, but this video speaks the truth. If PSA does not start lowering prices, SGC is the company to go with, its nice to get cards back when the player is still relevant. No one wants to wait over a year for their cards to return back home, that is just wayyyyy too long.
SGC is starting to get hit hard. 2months ago I got a 10 card order back in 12 days. I currently have a 10 card order at SGC been over 40 days now. Still great turn around times and nothing compared to PSA just making the point that they are definitely getting more and more submissions
Really good content, I appreciate the information you guys are putting out here to help us as collectors. I’ve submitted a total of 11 orders to SGC since May, have two there now totaling 21 cards; all modern to ultra modern, but with the PSA price being where it is, I preferred to have them slabbed versus just sitting on them. I have also sent two orders to BGS and one to PSA this Summer, but it’s not a viable option for cards in the $20-$100 range.
Hahahahaha im probably the one the guys mentioned about the 56 cards rejected. I haven't been so satisfied with this outcome ever in my life but the guys saved me money and troubles. Apart from that they gave me strong advice in choosing a company and what to do with these cards. You can actually feel the Honesty when these guys speak or write. Never feels like just a "get my money" transaction. Glad i started working with them for the past few months.
Thank you Miguel, we appreciate the opportunity to work with your collection and thanks for the kind words! We hope to help you with more cards in the future!
I really liked this video. I've been hesitant but I might have to submit some to them soon. Although I almost feel sub grades are a necessity at this point with how inconsistent some of the psa grading has been
Hi Parker, we were just using 25% as an example for the math, not that the comps ALWAYS match that. We were focused more on the "turning the dollars" math, encouraging submitters to get off the sidelines with their cards. Even at 50-60%, you can make more total $$ by not waiting and turning your dollars over multiple times in a year. We are currently very focused on vintage collections of mid-grade star cards and most of what we've been comping has been in the 75% range on those, but yes, the gap is often wider on modern/ultra-modern cards. We will discuss that more thoroughly in a future video, comparing comps between vintage and modern. Thanks for your input! joe
@@gotbaseballcards-com Where do you think CSG is currently at, related to PSA sales data? I just recently discovered your channel and have really been enjoying your videos!
I appreciate this video on the perspective of the seller when grading SGC. I would be interested in your opinion on the buyers perspective in buying SGC slabs. Is there a demand to buy SGC?
There is a ton of demand for SGC on vintage cards up through the junk wax era. We sell large quantities of SGC vintage. We are seeing more and more collectors submitting their modern and ultra modern cards to SGC every week as well and we would not be surprised to see an increase in the resale values on this time period in months to come.
Do you’ll have on site dropping for SGC grading or do they have to be mailed in? We will be headed to Florida from Kentucky Saturday 9th and hoping to make a stop to check out your shop. If you’ll have drop off I was going to bring some cards with me.
Joe, what you saying about waiting and prices at PSA maybe never coming down, a light bulb went off and realized how wrong i am for waiting. I have a box of cards, and i went thru them, half were guys that their rookie year was hot, now they are not as wanted. if I went to CSG, i could have flipped them for even $10 in profit each, but for now they'll sit in a dollar bin. Thank you so much for the enlightenment
If you wish to submit with SGC, we are actually cheaper than going direct. We charge as low as $29 (including shipping/insurance). We do selective consignments on graded cards based upon your inventory. You can email us for more details - gotbaseballcards@gmail.com
This was just a generic example not an exact percentage to use for all cards, our point was the value of turning $$ and saving money from overpaying on grading cheaper cards.. In hindsight, a better example probably would have been vintage PSA 8s vs SGC 8s where the percentage is typically in the 75-85% range.
Correct, there are many bargains out there on PSA cards at this time. Many cards do not "fit" their current price levels which is why some other companies might be a strong alternative at this time.
@@gregjohnson4927 you will notice we only promote SGC, CSG, PSA, and BGS at this time. Time will tell which other start-ups can survive and thrive in this very competitive industry. Thanks for your comments!
I wish SGC the best, I really do. I think they are fair, with great turnaround and excellent customer service. My problem is the slab. It's just too plain and boring looking - for me and for most of the collectors I sell to - they don't want SGC slabs. They just don't - and despite what these guys in the video say, I can't sell SGC slabs online or in person at 75% of PSA either. Just can't - the gap is much much bigger than that in reality. But that's just my experience as a dealer. It stinks, because I think they have a great product/service. In relation to the plain-ness of the slab, FYI I also say the same about PSA - it's a boring slab. I know in the video they recommend CSG too. That's a boring AND ugly slab. Even worse! And their turnaround times are bad. PSA has really shot themselves in the foot and it makes total sense everyone is looking for alternatives. My alternative? It's HGA, great slabs, great turnaround, cheaper than SGC, fair & consistent grades and I'm selling these all over the place...and in volume. They resonate with younger and newer collector's who want something to show off, not something that looks like generic can of tuna fish. Again, I want to like SGC slabs, but I can't sell them, so they aren't for me. But anyone that wants a fair grade for their card and are fed up with the shenanigans at PSA, I say you go with HGA first, then maybe SGC 2nd. I've gotten fair grades back from both. In the end, a fair grade is a massive part of the equation of what we are asking for from our grading companies.
Hi Chris, we are currently focused on a large volume of vintage collections, where the resale has been in the 75% range on vintage stars (especially mid-grade ones). We've actually seen SGC stronger than 75% on some recent comps on vintage, but I get your point on modern, where they are not as strong yet.
@@gotbaseballcards-com Great points. I should have clarified that SGC for Vintage does do very very well indeed in my experience. There's no issue for resale there and I've even seen them outsell PSA cases of the same cards. Hands down, no contest, SGC for vintage all the way. Great video by the way. Very informative and thanks for allowing all opinions in chat. You'd be surprised how many other content creators would have deleted my post since I gave a somewhat contradictory opinion. In the end we're all searching for where to grade our cards and SGC is 100% viable for various scenarios.

You guys are a huge asset to the hobby glad I know you both personally
Let's go SGC! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for watching, Steve! We love the Tux too!
PSA is only hurting themselves and SGC is benefitting from this
And I couldn't be happier 😁
Wrong because a sgc 10 is a psa 9 half the time
@@jibcoolio7 no where near that number. 🤣 Maybe 3/100. PSA allows for a 10% off center where SGC doesn't. It's not a 10 if it's off center. 🤦
Thank you both for your helpful videos.

Great analysis and comparison. I am a huge fan of SGC for my PC cards. Glad I stumbled across your channel! Thank you!

Great stuff! Really appreciate you gentlemen sharing the knowledge!
Our pleasure! We appreciate your kind words and thanks for watching. Share with your friends so that we can help more collectors going forward!
How does this guy only have 900 subs? Should be more
Thanks for the kind words - share the word - we try to provide great content for our viewers!
I'd revisit in 3 months and he'll have 10k+ watch the TH-cam algorithm do its work.

Regarding the sending of vintage cards to SGC, what is the cutoff for considering a card to be `vintage`? Thanks.
I really liked this video. I've been hesitant but I might have to submit some to them soon. Although I almost feel sub grades are a necessity at this point with how inconsistent some of the psa grading has been
Where did you determine to price SGC 10s 25% below PSA 10s? From what I've seen, the gap is wider.
Hi Parker, we were just using 25% as an example for the math, not that the comps ALWAYS match that.

Grade with SGS!
Stoncks!
If 1 does garding & consignment through u is there an additional fee. Thanks

Well said gentleman. I hope people take your advice because it really is not worth it to use psa for everything.
SGC is soo fast
It really is hard to beat their turnaround time right now!
What example of a card sells for 600 in a psa 10 and 400 something in a sgc 10 ?
This was just a generic example not an exact percentage to use for all cards, our point was the value of turning $$ and saving money from overpaying on grading cheaper cards.. In hindsight, a better example probably would have been vintage PSA 8s vs SGC 8s where the percentage is typically in the 75-85% range.
SGC all the way for me going forward. I’ll never grade with PSA again.
They arent many cards on the market from PSA that cost $150 to grade tho. In fact most PSA cards on the market likely costs between $9-$20
Correct, there are many bargains out there on PSA cards at this time. Many cards do not "fit" their current price levels which is why some other companies might be a strong alternative at this time.
HGA on the way 📈
HGA definitely the way to go now. I'm not a SGC fan.
😂
