Is CGC going to start grading Trading cards? 0

[miscus555]

I heard that they are going to start getting into this market. 
 

if they do I think it’s a slam dunk. It would be a breath of fresh air to them to grade a single card instead of a full comic book which they have made a successful business out of doing.

The current card grading companies all have their small issues

the leader is PSA who has gained this title simply by having a friendly website and best return on their graded cards in the secondary market. There grading costs have risen as their turnaround time has gotten slower each year

Beckett is 2nd with a good slab and sub grading but you pay more for turnaround time and if you don’t, good luck getting your cards back before 2022

SGC is much quicker but less used and therefore not a desirable secondary market card. They grade cards very well though but with a lack of updated website and customers they fall short in ways PSA reigns. In a perfect world, if you mix SGC and PSA together they’d be what CGC is

thinking about it, CGC should just take in SGC under their umbrella. I think they would do very good business together and be tops in the market

Seems possible that SGC and CGC are "merging"... check out the SGC website:  https://sgclegacy.com/Splash

SGC was part of the CGC parent company years ago... not sure what happened.

Here's a 1999 press release mentioning SGC and CGC: https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/amazoncom-auctions-and-certified-collectibles-group-announce

The link is from SGC's old site which teases SGC's relaunch from 2 years ago. SGC's relaunch was switching from the 10-100 to the 1-10 with two 10s grading scale and a new look. I was a SGC card submitter and that was not great in my opinion.

What caused SGC's split from CCG (the parent company of CGC, NGC, etc.)?

I don't know. I think it was a huge mistake by SGC if they decided to leave. SGC's registry was so vanilla and if they used the Collector's Society registry, they would be in a much better position now than they are today.

The only slam dunks in life are in basketball, taxes, and death.

Competition isn't bad, though.

saw this was finally announced for sports cards. i'm in dire need for PSA competition and i love when CGC does for comics so i have 200 cards waiting to be graded from them. i think they will do well if they are transparent and notice any fraudulent submissions.

I'd like to see some comic book graders learn the craft of sports cards grading and transfer over.

i'm sure once they open the sports card gates, they will also grade non sports. I heard they grade hard. saw a submission video of fresh pokemon cards from a pack from 1999 get 8.5's

I thought SGC was still part of the Collector Society  which included NGC, CGC, SGC.  I did not even know SGC separated. We use to have sports card guys on the CGC forum chatting in good old days.   Anyone remember when the society membership to CGC included free submissions to NGC and SGC for grading.   I got free grading on some old baseball cards and coins which I would never have had graded otherwise.
