what it looks like to me is there sleeve and toploaders have been exposed to extreme heat and got that warped effect.
-
great video and great info for those wondering about supplies and protecting your investments
-
no its not. unless you get a allen and ginter certain card from topps themself which ive seen some come in a fancy looking loader and such then no what you got sent is for sure messed up sleeve and toploader.

yes we are in a boom. and some worry things will crash at some point. but tcg for sure has surged. especially with so many thefts of it now.
-
Thanks for the more clerity in it. and yeah i kinda figured tcg was taking over things for a bit. its insane.
-
yeah i hope he springs back from this surgery/injury and does some great things
-
yeah i mean psa is still the golden child.. still worth it if its cards that you can wait on and not gonna loose value while they have them. Degree is for sure nice. ultimatly i like that you get told why you got the grade you did.. Im also gonna look into TAG. There another one that seems to be making headway

i believe it was sgc .. let me look really quick. dont want to be giving wrong info
Collectors Holdings, the parent company of PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), has recently acquired two major competitor grading firms to dominate the market: <mark jsaction=”” jscontroller=”DfH0l” data-sfc-root=”c” jsuid=”fj0OVb_h” data-sfc-cb=””><strong jsaction=”” jscontroller=”zYmgkd” data-sfc-root=”c” jsuid=”fj0OVb_i” data-sfc-cb=””>SGC (Sportscard Guaranty Corporation) in February 2024 and <strong jsaction=”” jscontroller=”zYmgkd” data-sfc-root=”c” jsuid=”fj0OVb_j” data-sfc-cb=””>Beckett Collectibles (BGS) in December 2025</mark>. These acquisitions placed PSA, SGC, and Beckett under one umbrella, controlling approximately 75%–79% of the trading card grading industry.
And from what i have heard sgc is not more of a boutique. comix grading mostly.
-
its possible they left there supplies in extreme heat and still used them.. whos to say. i guess as long as the card doesnt look to be effected? did you reach out to the seller to show how the card arrived?
-
yeah lots of people sending in cards for grading. expecially since they took over sgc and i think becket is part of there family now.
-
i would say there isnt.. and with there increase in prices and wait times now dont think there will be a good time to really send in unless your paying for express or one of the higher level services. I know ive heard some people say theyve gotten there order back quick but i think they used a higher level of service and not the value service. My first order even to be vaulted still took them 4 months to do and this was before they did the first price increase and wait times.
-
cool cool. hope the hobby is treating you well
-
