The unique ones wont be the issue. The 1958 Mantle All Stars will be an issue.

Is that the list? its asking me to log into spectrum webmail and I don't have that.

Ditto

Same here.

What a Charlie Foxtrot. I, too, can't open the list. Hopefully, there were not too many duplicate cards. To further complicate matters, I know I submitted multiple copies of the same card. If several others also submitted multiple copies then the fun begins.

Multiple copies of the same card is not the issue. My problem will arise if two different people submitted 1958 Mickey Mantle All Stars. For example, only 1 person submitted W202's. Only one person submitted a Kashin Ruth. Only 1 person submitted some T206 mega stars. Something like a 1960 Carl Yastremski though, I might have more than one person subbing stuff. Phil is helping me look into things. I forwarded him the list (before it got all disarrayed).

We will all do whatever is needed to help out this situation, and more importantly, to avoid giving you a heart attack, Bobby.

Could you post a list in chronological order of the cards that were submitted, so we can see which ones have multiple copies? From there, whoever has one of those could find scans, pics, whatever, to show which card is theirs.

I forwarded Phil the original list. I can get you one too Darren.

I'm happy to help out as well if needed, Bobby.

I think I can follow it. It will just take a different strategy than dealing with PSA. WIth PSA, I simply put all the cards in chronological order and matched them up with the sheets.

With SGC, I will take the sheets and match them up with the cards. And hopefully I didn't have guys send the exact same card.

can you cut n paste the list of submitted cards so we can know if two or more of us submitted the same cards?

***ATTENTION: All Submitters***

Combing through the data, I found that this is the list of cards that have multiple examples submitted. It is quite possible that some or all versions of a single card were submitted by the same person, but that's neither here nor there.

What to do:
1. If you submitted a card appearing on the list below, contact Bobby and tell him how many of them you submitted.

2. If you submitted all examples, then nothing else needs to be done.

3. If you only submitted one (or two if there were a total of three examples sent in), then make sure you have scans, pics, whatever to 'prove' which are yours.

4. Immediately contact Bobby (to save him from a heart condition :rolleyes:) and arrange sending him the pics.

Hopefully, I didn't miss anything. As each card is 'resolved,' I can mark it as such, if that'll help.

Thank you Darren

thanks Darren, does the t206 Lajoie list the pose, or 150 vs 350 series , or the factory # ?

No, do you have a scan of yours you can post?

Nope. Each card 'description' is how it appears on the pdf of the SGC invoice that was sent to me, so nothing has been omitted.

I'll have to dig them up, but I submitted t206 SC150-30 Lajoie Portrait and t206 SC150-30 Lajoie Throwing.

so those two probably represent the "duplicate listing" if there are only two 1909-11 Sweet Caporal T206 Nap Lajoies on the list.

if that's the case, I wont look for the scans

Thanks, Bobby, Darren, & Phil!

There's only two so they're both yours.

I submitted
 

Several on the list-

(2) Leach throwing
(3) 1958 All star Mantles
(3) 1958 All star Musial
(2) 1954 Robinsons
(1) 1958 Mantle
(1) 1953 Berra
(1) 1953 Rizzuto

Hope this helps

Bob

Believe it or not, there are ZERO duplicates on the list. I broke down the groups on a hard copy that I will forward to Darren, and I don't see ANY duplicate cards by duplicate people

Guys....sorry for all the panic over nothing. It seems as though NO ONE has subbed the same cards as other members. As hard as that sounds to believe!!

No worries Bobby, better to figure it out now so it's not snafu later.

Hey Guys, I am not sure Darren understood what the issue was. And judging by my DM's, maybe I didn't make myself clear.

The problem WAS NOT the issue with duplicates. SGC can handle sending in 100 of the exact same card. The issue arose with duplicates among DIFFERENT MEMBERS. Take for example a Pete Rose rookie card, all of similiar quality. Say I submit 4 Pete Rose rookie cards. Darren Hughes submits 1 Pete Rose rookie card. With the way SGC enters cards into their system, they ignore the way I have them on the sheet and enter them randomly. Doing it that way, I would have no idea which Pete Rose rookie Darren submitted was.

PSA never does that. They enter them in the same way I have them on the sheet. Which basically one big sheet is broken down into various groups (to make it easier for me). But everyone's order stays together. That is how I am able to know whose card is whose when I get 5 Pete Rose rookies from various people.

I believe we dodged a major bullet this time, because as far as I can tell, no one has submitted the exact same card as another member. Instead of putting cards chronologically like I do with PSA, with SGC, I simply pull out the sheets you sent me and go grocery shopping.

As long as I know the rules, I can work around it. Another problem arises in that SGC has no customer service number for customers to call to hash out issues. They have to call me.

I have learned a lot dealing with my first (and probably my only) SGC group sub. Or maybe have to talk amongst yourselves and be like (Are you sending a 1953 Topps Yogi Berra?). I can't see myself doing that.

Wondering if the recent crash in ultra modern prices will cut into Psa volumes. Noticed a couple Youtubers dealing in new stuff at trade shows buys the shiny PSA 10s and trades them that day for for pre 1970 Hofers, Early Topps and pre-war. Maybe getting religion, or is this a natural migration to more stable collections? I think both.

Ummm...I understood perfectly fine. Look at post #162, outlining what members need to do if they submitted a card on the list of duplicates shown there. They would have to show you 'proof' of which of the duplicates was theirs, so you'd ultimately sent them back the correct card. Quite clear.

I'm glad it's been resolved, and I want to meet some of the people who have multiples of epic cards from the 50's to send in. Yowza! :eek:

Well, the 4 Minnie Minoso rookies were mine. I am thankful I was the only one to submit one.

I paid upcharges for 4 cards. None were mine. So would like to get reimbursed for that. The 4 upcharges were....

R136 Kashin Babe Ruth = +67
T206 Ty Cobb Bat off shoulder = +67
E93 Honus Wagner = +67
1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig = +67

The upcharges were $67 each.

Also, some cards didn't grade, so I will be owing refunds to some.

Bobby

Can you post the grades?

Congrats on the upcharges and nice grades.

I dont have them yet.

Since I have too much experience in the area, can you tell us which cards are being returned ungraded?

He was going so fast. Definitely the Desert Storm Ken Griffey Jr. They don't grade the issue. I will know better once I get the package back.

I am pretty sure one is mine. A chimeric Gilhooley E135 front with a Johnson stamp back. I think these were faked in the 1970s or 80s. Dopey me.

One is mine and one is Teza11. They both have skinned backs. They told me they don't grade blank back cards. I was like, these aren't blank backs....they are SKINNED backs.....and I pointed out that they graded those in the past. So we will see.

Do you mean 1991 Topps Desert Shield Ken Griffey Jr?

Not sure the exact issue. he said they don't grade desert shields.

That is the only year they done DS cards. They must have just stopped grading them in the last few days then or maybe it is one of the many fakes out there.

1928 Yeungling Mostil
 

Expecting this guy to come back either a replica or altered. Shall soon find out...

Maybe they stopped grading the Griffey. I have seen that they graded Desert Sheilds, but I have not seen any Griffeys in a SGC holder. That is a commonly faked card?

They are all commonly faked because the only difference between them and the regular issue Topps cards is a foil stamp. The foil stamp is what gets counterfeited. The Chipper Jones rookie card is the biggest money card of the DS cards.

If their guarantee is worthless/deleted, not sure why they wouldn't grade bad cards. They have no liability anymore except bad press, which seems to fall under "all news is good news."

The DS Griffey is mine. A DS expert looked at my scans and told me it's legit. I believe he advises PSA. So I'm not worried about it as a fake.

The 1933 Gehrig is mine. It was previously judged as altered by SGC. My valuation was correct according to VCP for that card in Auth condition. Do you know why they upcharged me?

Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

Maybe you got a numerical grade this time.

I sent it in the cardsaver with their sticker attached to it. I just wanted the card slabbed and protected. If they changed their opinion after seeing their previous opinion I would be surprised.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...759c0c0b59.jpg

That would surprise me too

I'm guessing they see the sticker and as a precaution assume its fake or being used in a nefarious way in an attempt to say a fake is at least authentic altered. Of course it's the same card but they don't see it that way. They could've done a second evaluation after ignoring the sticker and judged it as not being altered this time around.
Just a thought

that's plausible. hadn't thought of that.

Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

VCP Average on an Authentic Gehrig is $3,200. The limit per card was $1,499.
Of course there are varying degrees of "authentic" that would make it higher or lower. I am thinking that this authentic didn't appear to be totally falling apart to warrant squeezing in under a $18 sub.
