Which Graders will note t206 anomalies, errors & provenance?
I have seen old slabs that note things like double name, missing red ink, so & so collection. I know some of the collections get provenance - Lipset, Bray - but I assume that happened all at once. Will anyone provenance one -offs?
I have several oddities that I would like represented on the slab if possible - double backs, missing red, double name, double factory, Fitzgerald stamps, Burdick stamp, Howe McCormick, registration errors, etc.
Will anyone still do this - obviously not as a qualifier? I have never seen the backstamps noted other than with qualifiers (MK) - but it would be awesome if someone would note it on the slab.
What about provenance - For instance I have 2 cards that I bought from Scot Reader that I think would be very cool to have slabbed with that information. I also have a handful of cards that were written on by Buck Barker in doing research on the players - and some other researcher that I have yet to identify - I need to post them here as I'm near certain that someone here will know who it is.
I did see that CGC will add provenance (either someone they believe is "worthy" or you can add your name for an added fee of course), and they also note errors - but not sure to what extent. Along this line - anyone have thoughts on CGC slabs - they are one of the 4 accepted to the PSA vault (Not that I ever vault anything - but when time comes to sell it may be worth it). I also see two different slab types - one with a unappealing penny sleeve in the slab and one without that looks pretty good. Anybody know which is current? CGC also looks to have a registry. I can't confirm if SGC does or not??
Personally I strongly prefer the aesthetics of SGC holders and that is the only company I have ever made a submission to, but if I get some of these oddities noted on the slab that would be great - right now I just tag the holders with painters tape and notes so I don't miss it or forget - have to do that with Piedmont 42's too!
