Cards loose inside SGC holders?

[ynnek4]

i am sort of new to this hobby so forgive me; what is up with the way the inside of the sgc holders are cut? it sometimes looks like a elementary school student cut them out.

They are cut that way so the corners of the card does not rest against anything

I think the underlying issue is that this has been happening for years and nothing has been done to imrove the gasket. I'm sure it's easier said than done to come up with a new gasket, but if I had a pricey card damaged from slipping under/over the gasket, I'd be pissed.

If you look at the gaskets close up, you can even see small bumps in the material resulting from the cutting process. I like the way cards look in the SGC holder, but the gasket needs improvement.

I couldn't agree more! I too love the way the cards look in an SGC holder, but sometimes there are fingerprints or smudges on the gasket and that really takes away from the overall presentation of the card.

I have had the cards slip a few times, but mostly with cards that are very thin.

i've also been getting subpar services from sgc lately, especially after glyn and brian is gone and the new regime took over.

the latest was $25 cost to slab a trimmed d359 plank. after talking on email and writing in big letters "HOLDER IF AUTHENTIC" on the submission form and including said email...the card just came back in a cardsaver with an "altered" tag. can i be any more clear?

Your message is clear and they should have holdered it. They have a box to mark if you want an AUT card in a holder. Do you know if you marked that?

Yes, there is a bug with the software. I always correct the checkbox in red ink and hi-light it. But your card was deemed "altered" not authentic. SGC will only holder cards that grade numerically or are Trimmed or Color Enhanced:

"Check here if you would like SGC to encapsulate any trimmed or color-enhanced card(that is authentic) with the "A" designation."
