How does SGC grade Strip cards?

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>I have emailed them, no response. I know PSA grades them with a numerical grade if the size is 'right' (per their definition) but if it is cut too small, they'll grade them as Authentic. At least that is what I have read here. What about SGC?

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>SGC will grade them, but as far as I know, they will send them back as too small, etc if they don't meet size requirements. Now that they've added the AUT grade, this might change.<br /><br />It would be nice if someone form SGC posted here as to what their policy is because it sure isn't clear on their site.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

Posted By: <b>cmokings</b><p>thanks, when I send in a submission, I guess I'll write "please grade as Authentic (if possible) if it doesn't meet a numerical grade". Hopefully that will work fine. I had hoped an email would work with them, but I haven't had the success at meeting their great customer service that others have had.
