Thank You

I've never had that happen, but I had the opposite happen. I had a '59 Drysdale that I bought on eBay as an SGC 84. When I got it in hand, the card looked absolutely MINT. I cracked it out of the case to better inspect it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I re-submitted it to SGC and it came back EOT. Submitted is a second time, same result. I'm pretty good at detecting a trim job and I just don't see if it's there. Thats not to say that it couldn't be trimmed but, if it is, then why did SGC give it a numerical grade the first time? Given that experience and what I saw with the '34 Goudey here on the boards and SGC's empty promises over the last couple of years, my faith in SGC has decreased greatly.
