Dinner With Kevin Saucier

I very much doubt Dave Forman would sanction that sort of thing. It seems to me it is in his interest to get cards out of PSA holders and into SGC ones, where they can do it in good faith.

Only problem with that is rumors have it through a very good source that SGC "may" be kicking back slabbed cross-over cards as trimmed when they might not be."


A "rumor" that something "may" be happening is heresay at best. When disseminated by someone with aspirations to be their competitor, well.....

If a card is slabbed and there is any doubt, it is going to get kicked back. When you have a "real" guarantee, that is how business works. As soon as SGC cracks the slab, they guarantee authenticity and the minimum grade that was requested. This actually means something.

The angry collector or dealer that gets some PSA slabbed rejected should look at the big picture. If SGC ever starts rejecting every single GAI/BVG sent in for crossover and starts rejecting 30% of submissions because of not meeting minimum size requirements when people actually opened them straight from packs, then the collector/dealers has a legitimate beef. Until then, free your mind, as that slabbed PSA card may be in doubt. Do not get mad at others, you bought the PSA card.

The real test for this/these unhappy dealers:

1. Pay Saucier a fee to authenticate the card in slab. His authentification is then guaranteed for the value of the card.
2. Break the card out and send to SGC. If rejected, send back to PSA.
3. If PSA also rejects, then Saucier pays the person the money based on his guaranteed authentification.

At what point will a FPG be needed?

Or even a FPG.
