Ebay purchase - technical grade is correct. Tickled to own it :)

Post your “Nice for the Grade” card.

Trimmed?
 
It "feels" trimmed to me

I don’t get that vibe examining it under 15x. Spider wrinkles top left.

little wrinkles on the upper left edge about ear high, I'm assuming. Gorgeous card!

calvindog 04-22-2025 04:58 PM

Beautiful 3! Or 6 even.

JustinD 04-22-2025 06:21 PM

Stunner for a three, or a six. Wish I saw that first John, lol. :D

This one has caused me to rethink my 20+ year relationship with SGC -

It must have a crease or wrinkle somewhere.... No?

I always thought this one looked awfully nice for a 3:

No Creases - No Wrinkles

Lucas00 04-23-2025 02:53 PM

My prized 48. Very small pen line on the back. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...407733fbbf.jpg

I love threads like this, John.

52 Red Man Mays and 62 Mays have wrinkles. 71 Aaron has a dent on the bottom right edge. The rest just feel a grade or two underappreciated...

I see the wrinkles that go across the card. Great eye appeal but as was posted, it does give off a vibe of being trimmed. Top edge especially but could just be the way it scanned.

Let me begin by saying I really like SGC. However, there are two things I find annoying - the absence of explanations behind the grade, and the inconsistencies. I recently submitted a really nice '64 Topps HOFer. SGC graded it a 4. I cracked it out and immediately resubmitted it to SGC and it came back a 7. That's just plain ridiculous.

Leon 04-24-2025 05:58 AM

+1....There is no way a card should jump 3 grades. SGC should have been apologizng instead of taking more money. Unless you are going for a registry set there isn't a ton of reason to buy high grade instead of high visual appeal.

The 3 originally posted looks like a 5-7 any day of the week.

Great card John, I’d thrilled to own a stunning lower grade example as that

Apple_Robert 04-25-2025 08:26 PM

That is an awesome looking 3. Congrats.

StraightRaceCards 04-26-2025 01:29 PM

That Greenberg is sharp!

Might be a good candidate to re-submit again, albeit other $15 handed over to SGC...

The classic, "buy the card and not the grade" rings in my head for this Greenberg.

jb67 04-26-2025 05:23 PM

That Greenberg is a killer looking 3 for sure. Here is a card that looks great for the grade.

My contribution, it took a long time to find out why it got a 3 but does have a very tiny pin hole.

Thanks Jay. The back looks great as well except for a very small scuff which is what lowered the grade.

What a lovely Mullin 2, all for the sake of a very small piece of paper off the reverse side.

I’d buy cards like this all day long…

Just picked this up in Strongsville! No wrinkles under 10X magnifier. Small scuff on the back is all I could see.

I have always thought this one was undergraded.

Still don't know why this is a 3.5:
