So since I have SGC-graded cycle Mattys, I thought the right place to start is to get SGC to amend there already slabbed cards to include the 37-1 record on the slab as a variation. Here's what SGC had to say....

"...With this error being restricted to all Cycle backs (at least pending further discoveries), we wouldn't be able to put this variation on our label at this time. The comparison to the Wilhelm "suffe ed" variation is certainly valid, but we prefer to let
SCD take the lead in recognizing variations."

Which leaves me with two questions:
1) Does anyone have a close rapport with SCD to bring this item to their attention. I have sent 3 emails and haven't even gotten an acknowledgment.

2) Does it seem odd to anyone how two very well known cases (Wilhelm & Latham) follow the same pattern as the Matty cycle but a supposed leader in the grading industry won't even consider this card as an variation until SCD blesses it?


Thanks,
Scott
