SGC Grading Refusal - Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Todd Schultz

At most they would slab it as authentic.

The card is cool, but it is a freak. They can look at its corners, edges, and surface, but how can they measure printing quality? Presumably, they grade downward from what a perfect specimen would look like. What do they subtract for the missing color? Should they have a policy of giving cards with missing colors an SGC 10-poor, treating it like a pinhole or paperloss? Would you want an SGC 10 for that card?

If you just want it SGC slabbed, I'm confident you could coax them to slab it AUT, but I can't see how they could give it a grade higher than 10, which grade certainly would not enhance the card's value.
