Are you happy with the grades? I'm hearing a lot of folks are not happy at the strictness of the grades coming out of SGC these days.

I've been with SGC from Day 1. I'm not buying the recent gripes. They have always been tough and accurate, unlike most other grading companies.

Very happy and always satisfied with SGC and their grading.

Peace, Mike

PS For those who have been around long enough, SGC cards are typically always nicer looking than comps in other grading card holders. Bar none! Been buying the supposed SGC "dip" for years. Try to find SGC T206s now at reasonable prices!

I agree that SGC has been the most consistent but not necessarily the toughest. I think for the most part they have always been more lenient on miscuts and writing.

And I disagree that they always have nicer looking comps compared to other grading company's.

I just got this Waddell back from PSA, I thought it would get a 4 possibly a 3.5. I just checked the last 3 recorded sales of an SGC 4 on card target and I think it's just as nice as one of the SGC 4's and nicer than the other two.

The centering on the PSA card is perfect! Wow! I think with all the recent and past scandals at PSA they are trying to undergrade now and yes, of course not all SGC look better but acrross the board, I feel they do. Your card is an outlier and a bit undergraded in that PSA holder. Beautiful Rube however! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Sent in a Koufax Rookie and Johnny Bench 2nd year ('69 All Star).

SGC received them on 3/25

I've already gotten the grades and they've been mailed.

That's a turnaround of 2.5 weeks/13 business days from receiving to being graded/mailed. Insane.

Also, both graded higher than I expected especially the Bench, which came back an 8!!!!!!

I recently paid up for a Waddell 2.5 paying more than other SGC and PSA 3s. Color and centering on that one... just stunning. That is clearly #1 in the group you posted.
