ANYONE interested in piggybacking with me to SGC? ALL GRADES POSTED!
Just want to keep this small.....small enough to get past the 50 card threshold to get $18 per card grading. No, it is not a super special. I am just tired of waiting on PSA to run a decent special.

There's a group here in Northern Va. that does subs regularly. I'm going to be sending a group of cards to them and I can pass on their info to you if you're interested.

I hope y'all do better than my recent disaster of a sub through a friend.
|
I'm in for 2 if you get enough interest to do an order.
|
50 gets the best pricing. I am trying to make it happen.

The present environment for grading at both PSA and SGC is overly conservative therefore I feel your comment has a great deal of credibility. Being disappointed and feeling like you were just robbed at the ATM is a familiar feeling when grades finalize. |

Grading
Peter ...I think you are right on...You know how to grade within a full grade I would guess and I have heard your complaint before. I wonder how many cards are being left ungraded? I would be pissed as you are....so for now they are staying in the binders...maybe forever?......something has gotta give ...these young guys grading have lost their way or is it done purposely???

I was not an early adapter of having cards graded. Graded coins essentially killed coin collecting and I thought the same might be true for baseball cards. I eventually relented and joined the PSA collectors club with its voucher for 7(?) free submissions. I consider myself a pretty tough grader. Like Peter, I have a hard time determining if a card has been altered. I have been on both sides of the PSA grade surprises. I submitted a sweet 1963 Fleer Koufax which I thought was a dead 7. It was graded a 5. As I looked at the card under a loupe, I could see why the card graded lower. I had 1975 Yount and Brett rookies which I thought would grade a 6 come back as 7's. A 68 Mantle maybe a 4-5 came back as a 6. A 1970 Clemente another dead 7 or 8, returned as evidence of being altered. The consensus on the board seems to be that the third party grading companies have tightened their grading standards. The TPG companies have posted the grading standards since inception. The grading standards should drive the grade with no allowance given for a card printed in 1911 or 2023. Early on the bulk of cards being submitted for grading were likely vintage cards. The one of one, historic cuts and autographed cards were not as prevalent as today. Is it clear that grading was far more lenient to build and establish the vintage card market? Collectors were happy to see their collection receiving mint+ grades and submitted more cards. If it is true that generous grading was the norm what happens when 700 E98's are found in Defiance, Ohio ( https://statelinesportsnetwork.net/2...l-card-find/)? The majority of that find were mint or better. An inherent bias exists on this board for new holders vs old holders or for no holders at all. New holders fetch more iron and in theory were graded under tougher standards, hence a truer grade. I agree with Chase that the graders are used to seeing shiny, laser cut cards because I assume post 2010 cards make up the majority of the submissions. I believe that the bulk of high end vintage cards have already been slabbed. Oh, there will vintage finds from time to time but nothing like the 1952 Topps Rosen find or the Black Swamp find. I hope I am wrong, I want to find a stash of cards and I don't want to see the hobby go the way of coin collecting. |

Hey Bobby,
What's your cut off date for us would-be miners digging through our stuff? And are you able to submit a card and only have them put 'authentic' on the label? I have that way miscut Brett Rookie that they gave a number to last time, but I just want it to have the big 'A.' Thanks! --elm |
I’ll send around 7-10.
Thanks! |
Bobby,
I have 4 to put in the mail tomorrow and I am presuming SGC now grades vintage? It has been many years but the last time they would only do "A" on vintage. Thanks. Jim |
SGC grades vintage....they only put an A on them if there is a problem with them.....or like the Red Mans when they are missing tabs.
|
Thanks, I know when they first started around 1998 they would only put an A on vintage.
|
I've got one headed your way. Is it a problem if I ship signature required? My insurance requires it.

SGC just announced a decent football special. I am subbing some football cards...if anyone wants to get in on that, it is $16 per. For that cheap, they won't slab them if there is an issue with them. They will be returned unslabbed.
|
I have four I can send.
|
Bobby,
Did you ever get my cards? Tracking shows in transit in Raleigh the last two days? |

|
Thanks - hope so. What about the football - go or no go?

Rog that, will put 4 in the mail.
|
Question re football special - is this for "normal" size cards only? I have a 1970 Super Proof I would like to sent but it is 3 1/2 X 5 1/2.
|
OK..I'm gonna close this out.....we are currently at 70 cards. Enough to get the best pricing. If anyone has sent ANYTHING and I am unaware, please let me know!
|
This one get logged in yet? Haven't subbed with SGC in awhile, what kind of turn around are they doing these days?

The 59 Brooks Robison I submitted was my first ever vintage card that I bought as a kid in the mid 90s from a guy who did phone in auctions on a local TV station. And the 31 Lazzeri hand cut got a number grade! Can't wait to get them back. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |
Beyond thrilled. I expected the card I submitted with paper loss to be a 1 (and it was), and the other to be a 1.5-2 while it ended up a 3.
Thanks for doing this submission. |

Outstanding grades from SGC! :D I will be using them again. Thanks for hosting this submission Bobby! |
Thanks so much, Bobby! I was expecting a bunch of 1's, so very happy with the results!
|
Thank you Bobby!
|
Quick turnaround
My small batch graded in line of what I thought, Thanks Bobby |
OK - Not expecting those results ...
Thanks, Bobby ...
I was expecting a few A's and a bunch of 1's and 1.5's, but all graded numerically, including four 5's. With over half >=3, color me floored. Many thanks for running this sub, Bobby! -- Mike |
Cards are back...please be patient while I divvy them back out.

Had a handful of oddball cards that presented better in proper slabs Like Mrs Frances Cleveland, who wed the President in office at the White House in 1886 She was 21, the President 49 https://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/9705598.jpg https://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/9705598b.jpg Here's another a neat trio panel of 3 Admirals https://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/8824693.jpg https://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/8824693b.jpg |
