Strange Auction

Robextend · #1 12-20-2009, 01:20 PM

As a collector of high grade 1964 Topps Giants, I came across this auction. Something seems real fishy. This seller has many high grade SGC 1964 Topps Giants for sale, however most are stated to have a "crack in the upper right from shipping." Now I am just speculating, but if this was crossed from PSA and sent back from SGC it probably would not be damaged from shipping.

Any thoughts? Of course I could be totally wrong, but something sure seemed funny about it.

Thanks - Rob

I don't know about cracked from shipping,but I did send a few T206 cards to SGC for grading,and when I got them back,there were cracks around the outer bottom right hand corner.I am sure if I contacted SGC they would take care of it.It looks like it happened when slabbing the card.I don't know if this is the case here,but it made me wonder if the seller "assumes" it happened from being shipped.
