Please help with query on oversized SGC holders

[Stonepony]

No this sounds odd. Seams should be smooth and flush. You certainly don't want an item that appears tampered with. I would call SGC , I'm sure they will re-encase it without charge. Good luck

Looks like a chip more than a tampered holder. T3 would be an odd card to switch out.

Spend a few moments examining the card; is it over graded? Are there any signs this card was tampered with? Is the card authentic?

SGC oversized holders are notorious for coming apart easily (with or without force). I would assume this makes them easy prey for scammers.

Just be cautious.

Thanks, but this is far more than a "chip"--and there's also the small crack--but isn't the point that even if card is authentic and may deserve grade or not, it looks suspicious? Particularly to a potential buyer in the future?

seems like an odd part of holder to be damaged...on the other hand...that is where I'd stick a screwdriver if I were trying to open an sgc slab.

I've had a few sgc slabs practically open themselves for me!!!

The responses to this post surprise me. SGC holders frequently have a rough spot where the plastic holder was separated from some other plastic attachment at birth, It is not evidence of tampering at all. The fact that in this case a small crack developed is also hardly surprising. If you want a new case, I am sure SGC will replace it post-paid. But very little about this is shocking or surprising to me at all. And I hardly view this as a quality control issue.

This particular instance may not be a quality control issue, but there is definitely something wrong with SGC's T3 holders. Several members (myself included) have experienced their slabs simply fall apart.
