    Sorry squirt, been in the hobby for 30 years. Yes, it may be news but it doesnt rock the hobby world. Again, big deal.

    I read the original post just minutes after it was posted and thought, "big deal." Came back just now to read the replies and realized this is the big news that is going to change the hobby forever. I've checked my pulse, nothings happening.

    It is a big pair, especially for non-membership based auto authentication. It will most likely steal a good market share's worth of auto authentication from PSA. Whatever.

    The fact of the matter remains, the market is based upon card grading, not auto authentication, and grading shiny modern for investment purposes is like investing in tech stocks in the '90s. A quick thrill. As soon as people catch on the population report, 100 more BGS 9.5s surface. JSA will have no affect of BGS's inability to accurately measure vintage, PSA and SGC will remain the "go-to-guys" in that department.

    It's now 11:42 AM and still, nothing has changed. So guess I don't know much either.

    Our lager,
    Which art in barrels,
    Hallowed be thy drink.
    Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
    At home as it is in the tavern.
    Give us this day our foamy head,
    And forgive us our spillage,
    As we forgive those who spill against
    us.
    And lead us not to incarceration,
    But deliver us from hangovers.
    For thine is the beer, the bitter, and
    the lager.

    BSG has a share of the modern market, but PSA still has 1.5 times the combined Beckett listings of graded cards on Ebay from 2000 to present. There are so few cards that get submitted for autograph certification that this really isn't a big deal. People who were likely to use Beckett before will likely still use them, people who were likely to use PSA will still use them. Maybe SGC is ticked, but I'm guessing they realize the small volume that autos generate and really don't care either.

    Ummm YAWN. Yeah really not a big deal at all. I don't collect shiny new stuff so this impact to me is 0. SGC has a huge niche in pre war cards I don't see how this announcement changes that.

    Still trying to figure out if this post is serious or not...

    If you think this is big news then I guess you thought it was big news when CDSNUTS announced he was now a power seller on ebay.. image



  • ask psa if its big news???
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092
    Roger, that was big news. Please don't mock the greatest accomplishment of my life.

    I'm sure they knew about it before you did, so it's nothing "news" worthy to them.

    Agreed, PSA and SGC will remain the vintage grading company of choice....what happens after all desired vintage are all graded?

    Sure there may be a lot out there still, the questions are how much and how long ...
  • sagardsagard Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭
    PSA seems to have about two thirds of the modern market so I'm guessing they will hang around.


  • << <i>PSA seems to have about two thirds of the modern market so I'm guessing they will hang around. >>



    2/3 of the modern market of what? not grading, that is for sure.
  • psa has 50 % of the market in grading.
  • gumbyfangumbyfan Posts: 5,168 ✭✭✭


    << <i>psa has 50 % of the market in grading. >>



    MINT has 10%....what's your point?
  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,449 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>ask psa if this is big news? >>

    Since JS was with PSA before - I'm not expectin' much there in the way of comment.

    I'm not experienced enough in the hobby or have the business intuition to absorb your news.

    Could ya elaborate "why" you feel this is really big news for the hobby?

    Thanx

    Just curious, a couple questions...
    1. Where do you get your statistics from?
    2. Is that 50% overall or 50% of modern cards...i would guess their market share of current stuff to be less than 10%

    50 % of the market on all cards graded. collectors universe is a publicaly held company you can do all kinds of research on them.

  • BunchOBullBunchOBull Posts: 6,188 ✭✭✭
    I'd guess that the 50% market share is mostly comprised of modern cards, even though PSA grades more vintage than BGS.

    Dude I think you blinded me for about 1 minute there. To the guy who said PSA has 10% of modern where do you get your facts from, do a Ebay search of modern cards and see how many BGS and PSA auctions are running to get some idea. As long as BGS keeps grading laser trimmed cards as 9.5s and 10s I don't see any reason to think of them any differently than PRO.

    Since you are making the claim, the onus is on you to provide the documentation.

    I'm more than certain PSA would say , that is a pretty big deal .

    Well . . . maybe not in public and maybe not right this second .

    And so . . . The Battle Begins .

    As far as the hobby is concerned , I think this is big news .
