Another high end sticker -- "PC"??

[Peter_Spaeth]

An image someone sent me from the show.

I'm afraid to ask -- what's the PC stand for? "I really need to move this trimmed, off center card at 2x its value because I'm having a family emergency"?

Perfect Centering?

I'm going to guess Premium Card, but you might be right...

At least the fourth entrant in this space, right? The purple thing, and two different ones by PWCC, HE and PQ.

Maybe you can get multiple ones on the same card, so that slabs will resemble military uniforms with the multiple decorations.

This whole sticker-on-a-slab craze is really getting out of control. Would someone get the computer-generated grading up and running please. Not sure how much more of this insanity I can take. I might have to go back to collecting beanie babies.

That sounds a little harsh. I am not sure what the PC stands for either but the card looks nicely centered to me with no obvious signs of being altered.

"Premier collector" which is a step up from "advanced collector"

Advanced collector -- HATE that term so much lol. Always said with reverence.

[ALR-bishop]

Pretty Close, as in Almost an 8 .

PC sticker indicates the card worthy of the most Persnickety Collector.

PC = BS marketing scam, buyer beware.

[Arazi4442]

Nice little disclaimer at the bottom as well. Happy to charge extra $ but they’re not professionals

[Peter_Spaeth]

So who is issuing the stickers?

[ruth_rookie]

Thanks, but I (and probably everyone reading this) am perfectly capable of determining if a card is centered or not. I don’t need a sticker busying up my holder.

Is the sticker put on by a third party grader, or by the dealer himself?

Pretty Cheesy.

I had thought it was a particular dealer, but now I am not sure.

[barrysloate]

So then it's kind of a boutique sticker, not an objective assessment by a third party but a marketing tool to be able to charge a little more.

I got a sneak peak at the proposed new PSA flip...

Either way it's a marketing tool.

I only object to the STP sticker partially covering Roberto's face, otherwise I am gung-ho in favor of corporate 3rd party branding/grading.

I saw them on cards at one table and it was many of their cards. I found it ironic that just about every card they owned qualifies for the sticker. Now they did have some very nice cards, but come on not all deserve a positive qualifier, as they called it Otherwise it kind of becomes irrelevant. These stickers seem silly to me. I don’t mind paying over vcp for a card I want that I feel exhibits stronger qualities but I don’t need an ugly sticker hampering the looks and trying to sway my opinion. Buy the card not the holder or the hype stickers. At least the purple LabelGuy seems to be offering the service to The public and not just cards he sells, unlike the others using this silliness.

[conor912]

It's just a matter of time before we start seeing QRCs on flips, so we can scan them with our phones and go directly to their websites to be marketed to some more. I'm actually shocked I haven't seen it yet.

I have bought from Brady and Jeff before. Every card I have gotten was dead centered, and would have been worthy of a pristine centering sticker. I wouldn't be surprised if they could add a sticker to 80 or 90% of their inventory.

Exactly. I know he brands this, and I happen to also know the guy knows a bit about branding. Love it or hate it, if there are 4 guys tryng to do this, I have a feeling this one may survive, given the real world experience he has with branding. I mean its only natural that things evolve to this point and they will continue to evolve further. I mean BVG has, what, 4 tiered grades and a final grade on a card?

On a side note I saw his cards I think 2 years ago and said “this one isnt centered like u usually do” and he said “it’s not mine. I am selling it for a friend”

He doesnt price cheap, but his stuff is quality and he is good at buying the card not the grade, and it kind of bums me out that he is so good at that because we collect the same stuff. He just plays in a higher stratosphere.

Then why the we aren’t professionals disclaimer and why not offer the service to the public? It’s a gimmic in my honest opinion and have buyers become so lazy they can’t make any determinations on their own anymore? I think the service may have value if it were done independently by a third party but honestly lacks impartiality when doing it to your own cards.

[Johnny630]

This is all a marketing move. When one does it others will follow. Some Sellers are trying to stretch every single cent out of each and every card. IMO other then greed which is prob 75% of it, Some do this because they have it in their heads that vest pocket dealers/resellers/eBay Guys whatever dealers want to call them come to the shows looking to buy cards that are Undergraded looking for a crack and higher grade. Dealers know what some are doing so they put this PC sticker on said item. Again it’s their privy and who really cares. We are are all smart here and know what we like and what to look for. When I hear comments from sellers stating this the nicest centered 7 you’re gonna see I say to myself then why isn’t it a 7.5 or 8. It’s all BS to try and market their cards to what they believe is more effective. Just my observations from being around a long time. If I let little crap like PC stickers bother bother me I’d lose my mind.

Hate on the stickers all you want, but this was one of my favorite tables at the National! Some gorgeous post war cards 👌🏼👌🏼
