Default Just Got Cards Back From SGC

I just got eleven cards back from SGC and overall it was a good experience.

I received nice grades on a Colgan's Chips Evers, finally got my Red Sun Perdue graded (have owned for ten years), a few T206's a E90C Donahue came in at VG/EX and a T3. Overall a good experience first time sending in cards for grading.

However, a few problems. I sent in a 1915 Cracker Jack Max Carey that I bought off ebay about seven years ago. I bought it as a PRO9 NM and took it out of the holder a few years ago. It must have been trimmed as the card looks mint. I only got a SGC A. Bummer but better than counterfeit. I would never buy a PRO graded card. I have seen a few (they are always high grades) go off ebay for high dollars in the last four months. In fact, mine was graded as a 1914 Cracker Jack by PRO.

Also, I bought an ungraded Old Judge off Ebay about six months ago and they returned it unslabbed because they could not verify if it was real. I did not save the invoice and ebay does not allow me to go back that far to contact the seller. I may try to get into Paypal. I would be willing to send this card to an Old Judge expert on this board for their opinion and pay return postage.

Thanks for the help.
