Hi Jeff, SGC is still slabbing secondary market sheet cut cards but it’s rare. Sometimes I wonder if you need to know someone or better yet, be someone ‘famous’ in their eyes w/in the hobby.
PSA is also grading secondary market cut proofs (e.g. 1973 candy lids proofs listed on eBay). They just grade them authentic. I had many conversations with SGC since my 1977 Topps Baltimore Reggie Jackson 3-color proof purchase. Got nowhere. Will try the PSA route next.
I think it’s important both of these already graded Reggie proofs are in a grader’s DB that can be looked-up at any point. Still fathom why SGC didn’t enter these 2 proofs into their DB when graded prior to the 2019 REA auction. This is why I would even think about getting the cards re-holdered plus it’s also good to know the cards can be re-cased in-case anything happens to the slab (e.g. a crack which happens to me a lot in my SGC graded cards) .
