Are SGC’s grading standards slipping? In today’s episode of Extra Innings Jake @WaxPackWisdom and Matt From Providence are tackling the growing debate: is SGC grading too easily, and what does that mean for your collection? With a new leader at the helm, they discuss the potential impact on the hobby, the value of your graded slabs, and whether "easy" grades are actually hurting the market. Whether you’re an SGC loyalist or a PSA purist, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
