This is post is more related to the card industry in general rather than Vintage cards but I believe everyone on the board will enjoy this little story. |

While there's a wide and varied array of problems and general silliness with the auction, I point out the Catch-22 that the seller essentially encourages the winner to get the card regraded (for guarateed profit or you can return it for refund) but says that the card can only be returned for refund if it's in its original case. Obviously, a card can be regraded or kept in the original case, but not both. |

and beyond the grave advice from Houdini. From what I have read, a straightjacketed Houdini once escaped and reentered a PSA holder while the holder was submerged beneath the freezing waters of Lake Michigan. Alas, the 1933 Goudey Joe Kuhel Houdini held in his hand suffered a wrinkle and water damage. |

Obviously, the seller would like you to have When It Was a Game re-grade the card for you. If you don't get the grade you like, then WIWAG will put it back in the original holder for you. |

Gotta do it. 2 negs and definately serious red flags at that. As Elliiot not, just another stellar example of what being an eBay Powerseller is all about. |

While it's true that this person's auction defies all known laws of modern physics, I have to admit that his statements about GAI DO possess some redeeming elements of truth. |

Michael--Does anyone use SCD? I see you included them in your big four. Over the last six months for Old Judge cards I would say, in order of the number of slabbed cards I have seen, that the services rank as follows: SGC, GAI, PSA, Beckett. I have never seen an SCD Old Judge. GAI and PSA are close and my sample may have been biased by seeing alot of Shoebox Cards cards which were GAI graded. |

I don't want to spread rumors or anything, but the hottest talk of the Ft. Washington Show, a couple weeks ago, is that SGC is going to be bought out by another competitor. I certainly don't want to get in any trouble, so I won't mention the purchsing grading company, but most of you will guess who or whom it is. |

From my sources I have now heard, what many people were spreading as a done deal at the FT. Wash show, is no longer the case. Apparently the #s did not add up for both parties to benifit and the plan has been cancelled. IF you go to SGC's site they have even posted a statment declaring that the company is not for sale and is not going to be taken over. |
