Does anybody have an update of the Gehrig card that was the subject of post #98 (Page 13)? It’s the one that went from a PSA 6.5 to an SGC 8.5. When it was pointed out to Greg Bussineau (who was selling the card on eBay), he removed it from eBay and was supposed to send it back to SGC for re-evaluation. That was a couple of weeks ago and surely SGC has looked at it by now.

Of all the bumps I’ve seen, this one really bothers me the most. Here’s why. I don’t think anybody is going to crack a PSA 6.5 Gehrig (a $7300 card) to try to cross it over unless they know beforehand that they are going to get a bump. It’s just too much of a gamble. In other words, I believe the crossover/bump was pre-arranged. After all, if the submitter only wanted a crossover, they would have just sent it in still in the PSA slab. Make sense?
Does anybody know Greg and, if so, can they ask him what SGC said about this card? If this card is deemed to be trimmed, I think SGC owes us some answers:
1. Who submitted this card for grading?
2. Who was the grader that missed the obvious trim?
Note: I should point out that I do not believe this was one of Panky’s bumps. I only brought it up originally because we were on the topic of bumps. I just think that’s worth mentioning.
