I wonder how they plan on handling the scale needed for sports card grading. From what I've read they're not the quickest when it comes to turnaround times in the comics segment as it is and when you look around the big three graders in sports (BGS/PSA/SGC) they are all overhwhelmed with unprecedented backlogs right now.
Even when SGC was the only one open for business at one point during the pandemic they boasted about their quick turnaround times and immediately got buried in submissions to the point they're now a few months behind just like the other guys. They lost their advantage in the span of a few short months because they couldn't scale fast enough.
Maybe CGC can help take some of the strain off of the other companies and everything can start to balance out again. It might be tough to break in though if demand is too high right out of the gate. SGC has been around since 1998 and they couldn't even handle the sudden demand. Might be tough for a new guy to hit the ground running in the US market.
For those who are familiar with the comics scene: what kind of volume do you think CGC deals with in comics? Is it a bigger or smaller market than sports cards? I'm curious to learn more about it.
