News:
On April 10, 2007, Star Grading Services was requested to submit a proposal for
exclusive grading services for the American Numismatic Association. While we do
not currently have the resources to do this, we viewed the request as a wonderful
recognition of our growing popularity and market acceptance.

An Independent Study has recently found that SGS currently accounts for
7% of all Graded Coins sold on the internet auction site eBay.

    Considering how the ANA has conducted its business over the years SGS may fit right in.

    I wonder what would have happened if SGS offered to pony up more money than NGC for the endorsement?

    No doubt they would be the official grading service, and if they offered enough free grading for certain people, they could probably pick up another "official" grading company status.

    No, no, no. This can't be real, there not even a grading service. They empty bank rolls and slab everything 70.

    This is horrible, this can't happen, this is apocalyptic. Is this the end of human existance?

    I bought an ebay SGS Ike last week as it looked to be within a grade of reality and by gum it was. A single grade!! A 65 Silver Ike graded 66!!! This may be a bit of a trend with Ikes, won't know for a while as I only follow their '71-S BS Silvers for the occasional good buy.

    But I wonder if SGS is adjusting their grading toward at least a passing semblence of reality?

    The new holder looked pretty good, too, until I found it is still a clam shell that opens easily, even with my aging fingers.

    Oh, yes, their shipping charge has come down toward OK and they no longer ship in those insane heavy-coardboard over-sized envelopes.

    Hello, I like beating this dead horse SGS grading company to ebay (and enjoy my work doing so) but I am wondering if it is worth my time and effort to copy and paste there "graded work" to continue to report these guys????

    Or are they currently getting a pass from ebay for the time being or what? Some of there products he slips through and mentions the grade in title other not, but you can clearly see the grade on the photo, but again I think another problem he doesn't have photos of the reverses on most coins if not all.

    I especially like to beat on his expensive crap and than his crap ending soon.

    Are they still fair game to report? Or is it a waste of my time. I hammered fifty the past hour.

    I can't imagine it's a waste of your time, phillymatt.
    Your time can't be worth much if this is all you have to do.

    A PRIEST in the midwest sent hundreds of coins in these garbage slabs. TRY to sell these to any legitimate dealer. Meanwhile the priest took these in with a "tax deductible" receipt attached. Get the picture?


    The people involved in the scams that these coins are used in, belong behind bars. You know who you are and so does somebody else at this point.

    Any accurate grade would probably be a mistake.

    Hi Ray, like I said I spent an hour this afternoon whacking at them, with 8500+ posts you must really have a lot of time on your hands.

    I was asking, only because I didn't know if they (SGS) had filed lawsuits like some other companies(Canadians).

    Ebay seems to have some type of hands-off policy with SGS or something because they just continue to flaunt the rules.

    I thought that maybe an expert like yourself, who spends a lot of time online here and knows the biz would maybe help me out with an answer that doesn't come off so hostile to help out another person and not let them waste their worthless time

    But, if they are so illegitimate as most opinions here say they are, than the hour was worth it if ebay takes action against them.
