What do I win?

Someone else?

Good work Steve - especially the Keeler paper loss 3 and the creased 4 and 5.

There is no excuse at all for such blatant grading errors to get by quality control of any professional grading service.

IMO a couple of other substandard examples:

You call them "mistakes", I call it TPG corruption, preferential treatment, or printing money for their best customers/friends. I have never submitted a card with a crease and had it come back a 4 and I suspect I never will.

I think it has been covered adequately in this and many other threads. Do you really need to see more examples?

I have. This card has a light crease down the center. Either from removal from a page, or from when I removed it from the mylar sleeve that was stuck to the toploader.

Ok, it didn't get a 4. So I'm not exactly right.

Aside from the light crease the card is nice. Maybe a 60? Maybe a bit better?
When I sent it off I was hoping for a 35, expecting a 30.

And my prominence as a customer of SGC is solidly in the "Steve who? " category. I send in roughly 10 cards a year on average.

Glad to hear it. Perhaps, I am too cynical.

Since we are clearly only renting these collectible for our short period of time on this planet, my only concern is that when it comes time to sell, what will give me, or my kin the largest return.

PSA (for now)
