SGC & Strip Cards
 

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I just received three W551's back, & all are graded Authentic. Two of the cards are full size 1 3/8" x 2 1/4", & the other is 1/32" short in one area. I was told by SGC that the cards not only have to be full size, but some of the dotted cut line needs to be showing. I mentioned that I own a few SGC graded strip cards & have seen others that are graded, & they dont meet that criteria. I was told those were mistakes. I personaly think a strip card should be graded if it's full size. Also, I think they should be graded if it's cut nicely, but only a little short, & that should be part of the grade. I normally don't like qualifiers, but a "cut small" qualifier could be added, & that would help explain the lower grade. I know many of you dont like strip cards, but obviously I do. They are not my favorites, but I still collect them.

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>I like some strips too... they're very unique and far more difficult to find that other cards.<br /><br />Do you have scans of your new W551s? SGC is pretty inconsistent with grading strips, atleast for me they have been. I submitted the W515 Ruth strip to SGC first, it came back too small (not even holdered as authentic). So I submitted it to PSA and it got an 8. Its almost like you have to make sure the person grading the cards knows what strips are and understands how large/small they should be. Some will say, well yeah SGC knows, but there are graders who are completely clueless to sizes. I also think all graded cards should be catalogued not only by certification number, but each and every should be scans or photocopied or something.<br /><br />I'd resubmit, email Sean (check this thread: <a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/thread/1138639977/last-1138711676/SGC+Service+Issues" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/thread/1138639977/last-1138711676/SGC+Service+Issues</a>) or send to PSA.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Kyle

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I bought a few SGC graded W551's, so I thought I would send in my ungraded cards & try to complete an SGC graded set. Other than that I dont feel the need to always have them graded. I'll try to post some scans as soon as I can.
