Well you got the beat down and I am sorry. Until this example, and I trust your assessment entirely, I thought hammering the submitter only happened on vintage that is NM and above.

I am not sure what the solution is but for the last year I have been telling everyone not to submit unless you need to do so to sell and be prepared to be disappointed. I have a stack of cards in all conditions and all values that are part of my collection and no way I am wasting the money to send them in. Rather keep the 10K in grading fees in cash. 10K assumes they get it close to right on all of the cards the first time, which is 100% impossible.

I remember way back in the day people on the CU Forum used to joke about getting hammered by the fictional "Grader of Death." I think the Grader of Death would be welcome in today's beat-down world.

I would like to see the back of the Robinson. Just to give it a decent assessment. From what I see of the front though, it looks really nice and undergraded.

I have a two-card order with SGC that has been in post-grading processing since 10/20. I contacted them yesterday regarding status, and was told that someone would be in touch to "discuss" my order-- no word today.

Has anyone been through anything similar with SGC before? Wondering if my cards are lost/damaged, or if they're looking to upcharge, or...

I had a similar situation with my latest sub, where one of my cards came back with a large crease on the back that was not there when subbed. The card was shipped securely, so confident it did t happen during the shipping process.
I emailed and got a response back immediately from Brent to send pics and order #, which I promptly sent and now a week later no response.
My original email was just asking to address with the grader so this doesn't happen in the future no refund etc., just accountability, so just wanted a follow up. Accidents happen and since the crease can't be taken back, just a friendly reminder to the grader to be more careful is all I wanted.

Rumor has it they're grading the orders so fast now that the postal truck delivering the orders to SGC is just waiting there to take them back to the post office after they are graded.

I heard they hired Chuck Norris, who grades and slabs the cards before they even get there.

In case anyone is curious, turns out that SGC accidentally creased an N172 Adonis Terry I had sent them, taking it from an SGC 3 to an SGC 1.

They offered to pay me what I thought was a a fair differential between a 3 and a 1, as well as adding some free grading vouchers.

They clearly felt awful, but things happen when you're dealing with old cardboard, so it's all good.

That sucks, glad it worked out in the end.
