We just purchased a "FRESH" T206 Eddie Plank and are BUYING Vintage Cards! ***

scott,

as primarily a psa guy and considering a recent sgc purchase was made, can i get just one piece of vital information that shouldn't cause a stir or implicate anyone...

this merkle tenure and guarantee reneging is news to me.

is there a certain set of flip numbers or perhaps a certain looking flip style that we should be on the look out for to protect ourselves?

or simply what are the determining signs of one of these suspicious or questionable cards?

if you can shed any insight on this for me i would certainly appreciate it....


congrats on the plank find and despite the detours would call this thread a success.

(and no one is perfect here, guys. myself included)

and this reminds me of the tommy boy scene:

if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, i will. ive got plenty of time.

This was posted pre the most recent flip obviously. Merkel pretty sure was through 04.

Actually, Merkle was gone in 1999.

The SG logo was used until late '98/early '99. The change to the SGC logo was near the very end of Joe's tenure and the dual grade at the end of '99 was after he was gone.

To be clear any without a 1-10 grade.

I would consider 50 and 84 to be numerical grades.

I hope you were that precise when you did surgery.

[begsu1013]

that is how i perceived it as well and he might as well been there thru 04 in my mind.


thanks for the glimpse of sunshine and moments of fresh air. heading back down to the dungeon now...
