CoreyRS.hanusThanks for that information.
This is the SGC guaranty:
"SGC guarantees that all cards submitted shall be graded by SGC grading experts in accordance with SGC grading procedures. In the event the original submitter of an SGC card believes that the card has been overgraded with respect to such procedures, the original submitter may resubmit that card to SGC for a review of the assigned grade. THIS RESUBMISSION MUST BE REQUESTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIPT FROM SGC." (sic)
I agree with you how it appears to read and I have a call into SGC to request clarification. If in fact their policy is to not stand behind altered cards beyond the 30-day period or if sent in by a non-original submitter, then I have a problem with that. Alterations that get by grading companies by their nature are not readily obvious, and I don't see why somebody relying on SGC's expertise should be without recourse if through no fault of their own either the alteration is discovered outside the 30-day period or the card sent in by a non-original submitter.
As to your remarks about restoring cards, please elaborate.
