And by the way, SGC grades them also, but don't see on their Pop Reports where they've ever graded a full panel with two players/sports figures. Also, they seem to be limited to only having graded Sports Stamps from three newspapers, the Detroit Times, the Pittsburg Sun-Telegraph and the Sporting News. These might be the only newspapers that Krause/SCD printed Sports Stamp checklists for, I'd have to go back and look. And maybe that is why those are the only newspapers SGC has graded Sports Stamps from. And SGC has graded far fewer of these Sports Stamps than PSA has, like maybe only a dozen, total. Also, most all of SGC's graded baseball player Sports Stamps are only graded Authentic, with the very few that did get a numerical grade having none higher than a 1.5.
PSA hasn't graded very many of these baseball player Sports Stamps either, less than 100 total based on their Pop Reports. I'm assuming this has a lot to do with Sports Stamps not usually selling for very much, and no set collectors looking to get a top spot on their Registry for these.
