I posted a thread earlier asking for info on my first big grading submission. Here are the results. I have thumbnails but not downloadable images yet. I am super excited. All three got a number grade (SGC 1's all three) but more importantly they are authentic. It was a long time coming though. I sent them from South Dakota where I live and it took 3 days to get to Miami (not bad) but it took 7 days to get from Miami to Boka Raton which is 45 miles away. I got a call from SGC today which I was thinking was either good or bad. Good that they needed a premium or bad that they weren't authentic. The Ruth required $125 more. Super excited, thanks all for the input. They are not for sale these are inheritence for my kids and not bad at that. Well worth my time and effort. I can't say enough about SGC. They were top notch with communication and information.

Congrats! Those are some super iconic cards...one heck of an inheritance. Knowing they are authentic is priceless...

Very nice, Todd.
Congrats. :)

I wish I could muster up enough courage to send some of my cards to SGC as they are also my preferred grader, but the mail, especially being up here in Canada, scares me.

You guys don't think that the Mantle looks better than a "poor?" The Cobb and Ruth absolutely poor, but the Mantle looks much better than that to me. Editor's Note: I just noticed the paper loss at the bottom right. That must be the cause of the "1."

And they all came back with a grade verses the Scarlet Letter!

Congrats on some smoking cards.

I'll post some back pics. It might explain grades a little better.
