SGC Grading Submission Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Bob

Hi all. I don't know if this has been asked before but it concerns SGC's policy concerning cross-overs. I have an E98 Cobb in a GAI holder which I would like to cross over but it exceeds the $500 max value set by SGC. Is this policy still in place? Would you think it would be better to roll the dice and crack it out and submit it raw.
Thanks,
tbob

Bob,

SGC will cross over cards valued in excess of $500. The cost to do so is higher (based on the value of the card), and I believe it's best to call first to get the OK.

Tbob -
If you call them they'll work out something for you to put on your submission form.
For instance if the fee for crossover was $7 bucks for a card valued under $500.00
they might give you a fee of lets say $12-$15 bucks for a card valued more than that.
This is what they did for me. I wouldn't crack it.

I'm pretty sure they stated their current policy as being willing to attempt a cross-over of any card; the fee would be commensurate with that grading tier if the card was submitted raw; i.e. a $1000 card would be $20. They really should update their website to avoid confusion on this policy.

...with me in terms of both crossing over high dollar cards and also grading cards in other holders.

I called SGC and they said they would grade it for $50 based on its value.

just curious...for $50 that must really be a high grade?

Not really, I hope it will be a 40 but it should be at least a 30. I estimated value at $3500 based on recent sales.

Bob you can cross the card over for $35 if you value it at $3500. I misunderstood you and thought you said $5500 which would be a $50 value. And for the board YES you can cross over ANY card regardless of value you just need to pay the appropriate tier price for the card (if valued over $500).
