could be one of the biggest aution "ripoffs" in history

Steve- the main board is for discussion of pre-war baseball cards only. All selling, or other business related matters, goes into the B/S/T area under the appropriate heading. There are also sections for other sports such as basketball, football, hockey, etc., and even a water-cooler section if you want to discuss how the Yankees did last night.

The main board does digress somewhat- if there was yet another perfect game it's okay to discuss it here. But listing your inventory on the main board is frowned upon..well at least by me it is. I can't speak for the others.

Maybe SGC can reply, but the SGC 96 listed on EBAY is an old SGC flip, which I believe means it was graded when Joe Merkel was in charge.

It is my understanding that the SGC of today may not cross old SGC graded cards into their current holders in the same grade or may not grade them at all.

Based on who sold the old SGC 96, I would suspect this card will not or would in the past cross over in a high grade or at all.

sorry
can send to post war, my mistake

Are the old SGC grades included in their pop report, even though they apparently don't stand behind those grades (for good reason, given many cards I have seen where the centering was just not consistent with the grade)?

I sure hope there aren't any problems with triplesss' 5191 other cards currently on ebay...

Wow! Just saw the final selling price, over 22k?!?!?!
Geez, I can think of how many pre-war caramel cards I could buy for that.

That sort of attitude will not get you an invite to any important meetings in Baltimore next week.

Is this really the case? And how "old" must a card be to be considered "old" ?
