I agree that David is a class act and I was in no way trying to infer he did anything. Once the card has been encapsulated it probably is not very noticeable because the plastic blurs the card a touch. However, these types of things should not slip through the cracks which is why I posted this. If SGC really goes through their processes with black lights and magnification etc for every card than there is NO WAY this card passes. So what does the "G" stand for in SGC if not for "Guarantee". They should refund David's money and compensate him for his time and troubles in this for doing such a crappy job in passing this card. Like I said, it is not like they missed a crafty restoration job, this was VERY obvious to anyone who could have held this card in their hands.

Grading companies are fine, but this is why people who spend big amounts of money on their services are just asking for it in the long run. Others can feel how they want but SGC is held to very high standard and beloved by the members of this board. Are they the best for vintage cards? Probably. But do they deserve a free pass on this one just because everyone on here loves their company so much more than PSA or GAI? No way. Just makes you wonder two things. First of all WHY did this card not get examined thoroughly and second, HOW MANY other cards has this type of thing happened to.
