Jonathan, What did the graders say about the minimum size not met label? That one has always baffled me.
Thanks Lee Behrens

That is a card that shows no signs of trimming, but measures short. A factory miscut generally being the reason. There is a pretty nice looking cj joe Jackson in an authentic non altered holder for this reason.

What I don't get is that they give a number grade to oversized cards but will not put a number grade to a card that they deemed to be unaltered from the factory. That is why I am curious to what kind of response the graders would give.

Sorry thought that was a general question we typically see around here. Didn't notice it was from an auction house and about a specific issue.

With the "new" SGC - they offer a checkbox that says "Encapsulate if Altered" and then another one for "A Only" when you simply want an item authenticated but not graded. If I check "A Only" and the card is altered, does anyone know if the slab will say "Authentic Altered" or will it just say "Authentic"? I'm sending the item in question in anyway, probably - but just curious.

I also think there should be equality in grading!! If it is unaltered and authentic then give it a grade!! Big or small. Small cards need love too, especially if unaltered. TPGs should use their noggins.

This has always annoyed me. With comics, CGC will label a comic Restored and point out the specific things done. Why hasn't this hobby follow suit? So you buy an A card and you really have no idea why its been given that designation. Maddening.

Without having to read every post - Does SGC provide an "Authentic-Altered" flip? There was an example of this for PSA. If someone has an SGC "Authentic-Altered" flip, can you please post a picture/scan.

this is what i am talking about!
this is what I have been complaining about for a long long time!
wtf.....why can't they simply send a report with the card??? or label the flip correctly??????? "AUTH" is supposedly just trimmed cards, or missing a lot of real estate... "ALTERED"- is anything "done" to the card like , add material, coloring, glue, extra "paper" ect WHICH I HATE HATE BEING DONE TO A CARD! any manipulation or foreign added "stuff" makes it altered.... I will buy a "trimmed card" but will not buy an "altered" card.... I had this problem with 2 higher profile cards that I was eyeing up- one is psa and one is sgc.....one card looks like it had "coloring" added to a significant wrinkle on the front, BUT WAS JUST GRADED " AUTH" !!!!!!!! UGH!!the other just graded as "AUTH" also, but just appears to be trimmed.....the owner of both cards was confused himself.... this is the problem- list what is wrong on the backside of the flip like a bvg report on corners, edges, ect like- COLOR ADDED/ ERASURE/ PAPER ADDED/ ECT ECT so simple!!!!!! I guess these grading companies like to be vague , this way they can cop out and just generally state "auth" or "altered" with rarely an explaination soooooooooo stupid so why not put the correct concern on the flip?????????!!!!! |

It’s about perception.
