SGC will now slab Rebacked N172 Old Judge Cards.

I have never understood why rebacked n172 cards couldn't be holdered with wording stating such just like trimmed cards. Yet I have at least understood that this was fact. So I was confused when I saw a card for sale that had been originally decided to be rebacked by SGC is now in an SGC holder. I will be glad if they have started doing it, but didn't know if anyone has heard if they have officially decided to or if this card just got through somehow.

I would love it if they started holdering the re-backed cards too. But I haven't been able to get a Yes. The other restored cards I've seen them grade don't carry the restoration tag on the flip. Just authentic.

Maybe the TPG's are concerned with situations like with T206's where someone re-back's a difficult T206 back (like Drum) with a HOF front (like a Cobb) where that front originally had a common back.

I had a Tener that I didn't know if it were rebacked or not and sgc confirmed that it was at the national this year. However, they did holder it as an "A" at my request.

That and the fact that I saw this other one makes me think they have changed their protocol. I will send an email and ask and see if I can get an answer.

Maybe the person I spoke to just wasn't aware. Although I did call twice.

I have a pretty scarce OJ that is rebacked and holdered Authentic "Rebacked" It took a conversation, but due to scarcity, they went ahead and holdered it. (This was a few years ago) They told me that they typically don't holder rebacked OJ's, but if it is scarce, rare, etc. they will consider it.

I doubt they will holder a bunch of them.

Edited to add if they re-holder and it is re-backed they will have to mark it "re-backed" "authentic" on the label. (That is the case with my card) Again, it was with rare exception they do this for a re-backed OJ as they agreed it was scarce enough and made sure it was labeled properly. Also, this was done for the uniformity of my Nashville collection of N172 players.
