Great stuff Howard as always!

I had a couple of opportunities to purchase this program (or one like it), but passed. Probably should have just pulled the trigger. It's a great piece.

Day 82

1966 Greiner Tire Service Photo...

Does anyone know why SGC will slab the Greiner Tire photo cards but PSA won't? (that's what I heard, and the pop reports imply it since PSA does not acknowledge the set at all)

Have no idea, I have never submitted anything for grading. Did not know PSA wouldn’t grade these.

Day 83

Using the same photo as the Greiner Tire, this Jay Publishing photo seemed to be one of the tougher Jay photos for me to obtain. It just isn't offered for sale as often as some of their other photos.

I'm 100% certain PSA did not slab Greiner Tire cards and SGC did, as of Jan. 2017 (I got a SGC 70/5.5 Clemente graded at that time). I think it might have to do with slab size, but not 100% sure. I called PSA and they gave me a reason in a follow-up email, but I now forget the reason

(just to bring this issue to completion)
Yep to the size guess apparently, since the Greiner set just recently hit the pop report, presumably permitted for grading now due to the recent addition of the 8x10 size slab that's been suggested for so long...
