Default SGC's official response to '52 Mantle debacle

Posted By: barrysloate

Dan is correct. If SGC found two imperfections on the card, no matter how inconsequential, how on earth did GAI give it a 10? Ten is an almost impossible grade for a 56 year old card, unless it jumps out at you and hits you in the head.

And who on earth would cross over a card that's already a 10? The risk and reward factor is way out of line. The best you could hope for is an equal grade from a better company, and if you lose a grade, as Mr. Haas did, you leave 100K on the table. If I had a 10 anything I would leave it just as it is.

I think SGC is okay here, and feel it is a nonissue at this point.
