To anyone who cares (I know the target audience is small)-
On August 1, I submitted a small tobacco group to SGC as a test to see if
there are being as hard on those as vintage, and for turnaround time. The
cards arrive tomorrow. The details:
1) T206 Doc Adkins- I guessed a 2, it's coming back a 2. Dead on.
2) E101 Bill Bergen- I guessed 1.5, it's coming back 1.5. Dead on.
3) T206 Harry McIntyre- I guessed 5, it's coming back "A" so there's
something they found that I didn't. Bummer but I'm certainly not
infallible.
4) Total turnaround time 26 days, mailbox to mailbox.
It looks like they don't crucify tobacco like vintage, so much of my
buys will be slabbed in the future (as it's been for awhile). For what
it is worth
