When did SGC merge with PSA?

twiley

Apparently PSA and SGC must have merged or something because I see a lot of ebay listings that have PSA / SGC in the title. When I foolishly open the link it's a SGC card not a PSA graded card. Lame way to generate traffic to your SGC cards imo...

When you put PSA in the title when you are selling a SGC card it really makes me think twice about clicking on your listings.

End rant: Sorry.

MrVintage

Its even better when they put BGS not PSA in the title....lol

I like when it is a raw card

Putting something like "not PSA" or "PSA / SGC" in a title could be considered keyword spamming, right?

MrVintage

Definetely keyword spamming....they don't always catch it though. I know what your talking about on the raw cards. They normally put something like "PSA?"

Sethro

Ha! The ultimate worst is the "PSA?" keyword.

I always think the answer is no, or the seller would send it themselves.

This has been going on for years and years. You're just now noticing it?

No. I have been well aware of this for years.

However lately it have been getting a lot worse then years prior.

WalterSobchak

Yeah, this happens all the time. It's irritating.

It isn't necessarily a dealbreaker for me when I see a seller doing it- but it does make me far, far less likely to buy from them.

it is always tougher this time of the month, you run out of prescription medicine and the refill date isn't till 5th. and then you go to ebay and see all these annoying little ads cclaiming PSA PSA whhen it isn't andd it makes typpiing even tougher where r my Meds!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BCCG 9 possible PSA 9.5 SCG 87 possible psa 8.75 help send meds quickly .

it will continue to get worse unless ebay does something , but this doesn't make them any money so this is on the proverbial back burner.

Funny diamondman. FYI I don't take prescription medicine. Maybe you do since you have a better idea when certain prescription medicines need to be refilled.

What does a PSA 9 SP Jeter go for? That SGC I bet is dead nuts and might cross to a 10? If a 10 goes for stupid money
it might be worth the 300 gamble only if you could recoupe most on a PSA 9.

vladguerrero

not listing qualifiers is more of an indictable offense imo...

yankeeno7

When did this become a new problem? We have been sleeping and not paying attention.

My favorite is when they are selling a raw card and say "PSA ready." Yeal it's ready to go to PSA but they didn't send it in because they didn't want to sell a PSA 2 with a qualifier.
