Default Think I just bought an SGC boo-boo

Posted By: warshawlaw 

I just got the N174 OJ card I won a week or two ago on ebay. It is graded 40 by SGC, with a screwed up back. That's not the issue, though, since the front picture is quite sharp. The problem is that the card has a very pronounced taper on the right side. I'd say (with benefit of a ruler) the card tapers from 3.5mm wide at the bottom to 1.5mm wide at the top. It was the first thing I noticed when I got the card. The card edges and corners are uniformly aged, so I think the card was trimmed a long time ago.

If the seller doesn't want to take it back, I'm gonna demand that SGC buy it back.

Since I am computer-challenged, if anyone wants to see a scan, I can email it to them. LMK warshawlaw@aol.com

If I am not mistaking a lot of 19th century cards were hand cut. I think SGC will take that into consideration, as they did the one I just posted on the "type collecting" thread, and go ahead and grade them. I have seen Kalamazoo's the same way...as long as they have the old "crater" look, on the wavy edge, then they will slab them a lot of times....AND before everyone jumps on the bandwagon that I don't have a clue what I am talking about I do have a little experience in this area... Send me a scan to my email if you get a chance. I would like to see it...regards.....

Sounds like it may be a miscut or diamond cut unless it was trimmed in it's era for non-compensatory reasons..

While I'm posting in this thread. What is the designation of this boxing issue??? Seller says it was printed in Canada.

Adam - if you like the card you shouldn't worry about it. I have a Brookly outdoor pose that is VERY thin, but obviously not trimmed. I saw a very similar one the other night on ebay that was slabbed.

I had that on my watch list. Those are hard to find in any grade. I'll give you $150 for it.

Mike,

It looks like the T218 but it does not have a Mecca or Hassan back. Maybe it's similar to the World Wide/Goudey baseball issues??

I mean similar to the WW/Goudey 1933/4 in the sense that the T218 set may have been issued in Canada with the same fronts but different backs?

The card says "Champion Athelete and Prize Fighter" but only lists "50 designs" like the T219 pugilists set and has no ad back.

Imperial Tobacco of Canada issued them. They are worth several times their T218 counterparts.
