Really SGC? Horribly disappointing.

Ah yes, submitted by Legendary. Or was it still Mastro?

Did you expect otherwise?

Jay is 100% correct the large holder is train wreck....perhaps SGC should look to redesign the holders vs. the labels.

David I feel your pain.

My T4 did the slab shimmy dance also I was lucky no damage.

I had it it slabbed in a Mylar sheet in the holder to fix the issue. Otherwise every time I looked at the card and tilted upright Mr. Weaver would begin his migration south for the winter.



I agree not the end of the world but also not an non issue either. It's a problem they have known about for sometime. I look at it this way if Branson can slap people into sub orbit I would think a grading company could figure out a decent holder for the services and fees being charged....

You would think that's the case but if people keep submitting oversized in spite of the issue there is less resolve.

For many of these cabinet size cards, there aren't many good options. PSA only holders up to 5x7 sizes. Therefore, if it is larger than this, you need to go w/ SGC or Beckett. The Beckett slab does not have any issues w/ float. However, the slab is a brick, and not as aesthetically pleasing as SGC, so in the end, collectors prefer SGC. In addition, for these obscure prewar cards, collectors still trust SGC's opinion the most over PSA and Beckett, so in the end SGC still gets most of the business here even with the gasket issue.
