Hal LewisOnly because I think SGC should start doing this for ALL vintage cards.
I think they SHOULD slab cards that have problems (coloring, trimming, restoration, rebacking, etc.) ... and they SHOULD state the nature of the problem right there on the label.
This would HELP the hobby in several ways.
These cards would get slabbed and protected from the elements.
These cards would get "authenticated" as part of the slabbing process, so future buyers would be protected.
These card would have their problems "documented" so that future buyers are protected.
These cards would get entered into the PSA or SGC "pop reports" so that all of us will know how many of them exist.
I, for one, am HOPING for a day where EVERY vintage card in existence is slabbed and accounted for by whatever grading company is the best with vintage cards (probably SGC).
Then ALL of us will know what is out there...
and we will never again have to hear that a certain card is "thought to be only one of two known to exist" on EVERY item in every auction.
