barrysloateHi Kenny- I am a regular seller of many high end graded cards, and I have to tell you I don't know the history of any of them. If they were consigned to me, I am seeing them for the first time when I open the package. And that is probably true of most dealers.
But let me share an example with everyone and I entertain all feedback. I am not one to repeatedly resubmit the same card again and again until I receive the grade I want; however, if I think a mistake was made I have the same right as anyone to ask for a review.
Last year I sent three cards that I owned to SGC for grading (let's leave them anonymous) and all three came back SGC 40. Two had noticeable creases, the third was crease free, so I was puzzled as to why all graded the same. SGC suggested I send back the card I questioned for review. They agreed with my assessment and regraded it a 50, which I in good conscience felt it should have gotten all along.
I sold it in my auction as an SGC 50, and did not reveal the past grade, which again I felt was in error. Did I leave out material information? Or does this apply only to cards deemed at one time trimmed or altered?
