As the guy who discovered the H.D. Smith thing, this frustrates me to no end.

I'm communicating with SGC and seem to be getting a bit of resistance. They don't seem to want to answer the question about relabeling a Scrapps Card as H.D. Smith & Co. unless I send my card into them.
Seems like an easy question. If I send it in, will you label it as H.D. Smith & Co. or not. |

Sgc is now the biggest group of boobs on the planet. They sent back my cleared marked and chosen on their dropdown 1952 gray backs/Canadian and said the no longer label them. ReA had a group labeled by them last month. They didn't even know what I was referring to when I showed them their drop down menu, their email saying they wouldn't identify them, and the REA auction with new labels that clearly say gray back. Filed and won with my credit card. I wouldnt send them my excrement to slab.
Choice if Net 54, unless psa slabs it instead

I didn't discover anything but I wish the TPG's would quit calling things "Hand cut" when they never were and aren't. .

I always thought the Scapps part referred to the fact they were made to be put in scrap books. When did the Scapps become part of tobacco?

Scrap: A category in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's grading system denoting tobacco that has been broken into small pieces; scrap does not include any portion of the tobacco stems. Scrap results from handling tobacco during processing or manufacturing, whereas broken leaf results from handling that occurs prior to processing. |

Rob was the one that started the rumor about scraps tobacco
http://www.rustywilly.com/largecards...hiteDeacon.htm It was in a 2005 auction catalog that Rob Lifson of Robert Edward Auctions came clean about the origin of the “Scrapps Tobacco” name. “The responsibility for this erroneous attribution, we must admit, falls squarely on the shoulders of Robert Edward Auctions’ President Robert Lifson.” Lifson then proceeds to explain that in 1974, while working on the Sports Collectors Bible, he was fact-checking with hobby pioneer Dr. Lawrence Kurzok. When Kurzok verified that the cards were “Scrapps,” Lifson interpreted this as “Scrapps Tobacco.” The issue was published in the Sports Collectors Bible this way, and has been known by that moniker ever since. |
