SGC Authentic

[basesareempty]

Now that they have had a few months to get thier feet underneath them with their new autograph authenticating service I was wondering what everyone's opinion was about their authenticating. I did a search on Ebay and there were just under 300 items being offered that were SGC authenticated and some of those were when JSA had an affiliation with them. Since most of us like what they do on the card grading I would like to hear other peoples opinions.

It looks like their prices are pretty strong on ebay compared to PSA/DNA and JSA

So far so good, and I think the year of death on the flip is a nice touch

kind of morbid no?

not sure why they do this....

My guess is that they aren't stating this on every flip, but instead flips that may contain a year that was written by the player, and are including it to parlay any doubts about the validity of the autograph due to the year it was signed. It is a card from 1909, so it's understandable. I could be wrong, but that was my thought on it when I first saw this card...

For example, I doubt there are any Doc Powers signed T-206 cards but putting the DOD is a good idea. Listen, at least you would know you could not have a 1964T signed Jim Umbricht or Ken Hubbs card or a 1977T Danny Frisella or a 1975T Don Wilson card.
