SGC = Who cares about your cards!

[Piratedogcardshows]

That's definitely the worst fitting gasket I have seen.Im sure they will do whatever to fix it and make a satisfied customer out of you.I think after a few months of the specials they have been running they are swamped and rushing a bit.Good luck I hope it's not damaged.

Here were some out of the other order. The scratches on the Ruth are under the plastic and now there is a Rub/Dirt mark in the black area of the card that was not there before too.

So you can see where my frustration is mounting. I had emailed Scott a few times and never got an email back on these.

I imagine they will step up to the plate on this one. Please let us know how it is handled.

If this were PSA and not SGC, there would already be 100 replies and cries for the heads of Joe O. and David H.

You'e right, Kevin, I'll give you that. Daryl absolutley nailed it.

But what either of you fail to see or mention is that there are no SGC apologists. If SGC screws up, everyone can admit it (whether they post it or not). I'll admit it, SGC screwed this one up big time. Here's the difference though. When SGC screws up, even SGC loyalists can admit it. When PSA screws up, all the apologists come out of the woodwork to defend them.

I would agree with this.

You guys remind me of the racism debate. Generally speaking I feel racism is perpetuated by the very people denouncing it.

That sounds racist

If someone is crying for your head, you might want to look in a mirror and see what might be wrong with it.

He does, but it's the mirror from Snow White.

Yes, I've experienced this also with two different T3 Turkey Red cabinet cards.

I've discussed this with other collectors online and some believe that the cause is not the gasket, but imperfections or warping of the two clear plastic halves (front and back) that make up the slab. I've contacted SGC and they've offered to reholder for free, but who's to say it won't happen again with the same style holder/gasket?

Either way, this should NOT be happening to our cards. Yes, one part of grading is the actual grade and the monetary value that follows, but a BIG part of getting our items encapsulated is protection. When the very steps we take to protect our cards end up actually damaging them, and we're paying for such a service, well... that's completely unacceptable!

I actually have a T3 Turkey Red that I'm almost afraid to look at for fear of knocking it loose from the gasket again. In addition, the only way I'll feel safe having it reholdered is by hand-delivering the card to either SGC or PSA at The National in Cleveland this year (and that's assuming SGC has a new holder in place). So yeah, sometimes the hobby isn't so enjoyable, and that's unfortunate.

Why not make the cheap cardboard that holds cards a bit thicker so this can't happen. I'm sure Hobby Lobby or Michaels has the cardboard. Just a thought.

brad did ya call em yet?

[pencil1974]

I emailed Scott and he just got back to me, wasn't even about the new one that it was about the 6 I had mentioned before and showed a few.

He said send them back and they would take care of them and also grade a few cards for free but I have no new cards I care to grade as what I sent in were the cards I wanted graded. lol.

I actually think this is a great idea. Like a thinner black insert, 2 pieces with the cardboard sandwiched in between-would definitely prevent this from happening and also be gentler on the cards borders.

I do have one of these holders where the card will slip behind the black insert, and I try to avoid handling it (which is bunk) because it already took me about 20 minutes to "tap" it back into place.

Hope this gets worked out for you-
