SGC opinions/question ?

I enjoy SGC and PSA equally. I collect vintage to modern, and have most of my pre-war done by SGC and have modern done by PSA. I like the thicker SGC holder for my older cards that I want to protect more, along with the black border to really bring out colors on T206's and the like. I like PSA for thier grading standards on modern cards, and thier thinner holders for large sets and player registrys. Many people I talk to do the same thing.

On to my question, which may be silly, but with vintage getting graded daily and SGC doing the bulk of thier work from vintage, is it possible a company like SGC will stay in business for awhile ? I'm sure there are still thousands and thousands of vintage cards to get graded. But still. At some point, the number of cards will decrease. I guess I'm afraid of having alot of SGC and then they go away.

Silly thought, but is it possible ? Opinions ?

    It is not a silly thought at all, Any company no matter how successful can go under for a variety of conditions. I agree with you and have most of my Pre-war in Sgc slabs simply because the slab looks a heck of a lot better and Sgc is Equal to or better than Psa at grading Pre-war cards, and prices for Pre-war Sgc slabs sell as well if not better than Psa slabs.
    Now, when you get into the 50's my sentiment changes and I think Psa does a better job from the 50's on up.
    However, I think it would be wise not to have all of your eggs in one basket, I would have some Sgc, Some PSa, and some not graded at all.
