SGC Monthly Grading Specials..

[Vol]

I have been waiting for months for the next "T" Card grading special. Last December was the last one time I can remember that they had one going.

Is that the only time of year they run the special?
I have about 30 cards that need to be graded, so I know this does not apply to me, but when does SGC start giving out a discount sending in so many cards at once?

Thanks fellas.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a T-card special too...got 20+ to send in as well.

Me too, but it won't be in September. They announced their specials this morning and no T-card specials.

Ffffffffudge.

SGC ran a $7 T-Card Special in April 2011. I remember because I submitted some T206s at that time.

They usually run a T-Card Special two or three times per year, so it would seem they're due to run another one soon.

I was hoping for a football card special too, coinciding with the start of the season.

I just got 75 T210s graded. I called them and they said the "Bulk Rate" started at a 100 cards. They worked with me though, because I had 75 of one type. They graded them @ $8.00 per card.

I usually take a screenshot of the monthly specials for SGC, PSA, and Beckett. Unfortunately, I don't have access to that at work, but I do see that this past March, SGC had a March Madness Special: Any card, any sport, $6/card, 10-15 day, $250 max value. In ~18 months of watching the specials, this is the best deal I've seen for SGC for prewar cards (under $250) is $6/card, no minimum. For PSA, the best deal that I've seen for prewar is $5/card, (under $100), 50 card minimum, 45 business day turnaround.

Hopefully someone will answer my request in the B/S/T Misc. section for a PSA buddy, so I can take advantage of the specials.

SGC buddy needed as they do not ship back to Canada.

I have 50 cards that I am looking to get graded, most in the $250 or less category with a few over. I would like to ship to your location and submit as a larger group and then would pay to get them shipped back.

Best way from Canada is to submit through SGC's Canadian Submission Center in Oshawa. Only downside is longer turnaround. Upside is they take care of all the border stuff. You ship cards within Canada - to Oshawa, and they ship back to you from Canada. Easy.

Nice and thanks. And bump for the heads up.

Looks like the December special is back this year with some T&C.

Argghh - even more reason to be irritated with Heritage. 485 ungraded t-cards still sitting in Dallas

Just saw a any card all sport special for December at SGC site. Better than a T card special in my opinion. They call it the"Wild Card Special". $6.00 per card.

Great news on this months' specials! Looks like I'll be sending in a few cards myself!
