Just got my Mantle back from SGC

[pencil1974]

Oh yeah they screwed you too! Check out this one out though I have to say this is the worst graded card by SGC ever. I've seen 2.5 that look like a truck ran over the card. No creases or wrinkles on this either...

Jeesh! That Mick is nice!! 2.5??? I started puting together a 52 set all psa5's, and honestly, they are all over the place in terms of eye appeal. Dave.

Yeah I really think it depends on the graders mood that day. Honestly there are a lot of cards out with the wrong grade. Good & bad.

I posted this one a couple months ago. Most people agreed that it should get a 2

I would definitely resubmit the Mantle if you ever want to sell it. It won't come back worse, and for $15 I'm pretty sure you'd get at least one better grade!

Take Care,

Yeah I am going to probably resubmit it. How hard are SGC's to crack? I know Beckett is a screwdriver and hammer technique (thanks to the guys on the forum) works really smooth. I'm not really looking to sell the Mantle now but if I do decide to down the road it would probably sell much higher ungraded at this point.

And Sean I would say a 2 or generous 2.5. This is what I mean look at yours and look at that Mantle. I've looked at it under a loop. The person I bought it from is on the forum as well and I trust him and he got it from big auction house and they had it as EX. Maybe the graders wife left him that day for a Mantle look alike??? HA!

Just take your time, and you can crack that Mantle out. Try using a smaller size screwdriver. Nice cards everyone.

Just use a box knife and go around the entire case. It will pop open easily and there's almost zero chance of damaging the card as long as you go slow.

Sounds spot on to me.
