Before PSA or SGC, there was SBC ?
 

I found this slabbed card in one of my archive boxes. I don't remember where I got it, but I think it predates PSA and SGC ? Any thoughts ?

Sbc I believe was actually founded by joe merkle who i believe later started sgc.

I believe that it pre-dates SGC but not PSA

flip and slab look very much like the early SGC slabs. I remember seeing those back in the day, but never bought one.

Nice looking Willie! ;) :D

The graphic element containing "SBC" reminds me of the element used on the back of the SGC holders at one time:

I think ASA Accugrade was the first.

yes ASA was a couple years before PSA, late 80's (Alan Hager)

Thanks for all the inputs regarding SBC. Thanks for refreshing my memory
concerning Joe Merkle and Alan Hager ( names from the past ).
