for one thing, it seems like SCD is grading virtually no vintage material. while people aiming to get 10s on their ichiro RCs may be willing to take a shot on every new company, vintage dealers & collectors are more concerned with the validity of the authentication & grade, which is why PSA and SGC are basically the end of the story (and many of us, as has been discussed here, are skeptical of some of their decisions).

and yes, SCD is blowing their big chance with this find. maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that if PSA or SGC got a group like this with the surrounding hype, they'd be MORE exacting. The message would be that if virtually untouched cards can be 2s and 3s, your 7s (untouched or not) are really worth something.
