Is this typical for SGC holders?

Yes, a lot...

Due to the ongoing problem of poorly seated cards and cabinets, I've switched to PSA. I want my cards safe and secure above all else. I hope at some point SGC acknowledges and fixes the problem as I do prefer their service and aesthetics.

I have had it happen several times and I don't buy that many SGC cards. But that said no damage ever was done.

I have more than several Sgc t206's that are not seated properly. In some instances the insert section is clearly smaller than the cards and they cannot be urged in place. On others the cards have simply slipped behind the insert because the insert isn't thick enough to be seated tightly enough against the two pieces of the plastic slab. In my opinion they suck and its a major problem. I try to stay with psa whenever possible.

Thanks for the responses. Not sure what I'll do in the future, as I prefer how SGC grades based on my limited experience.

You would think with all the fuss about the flip, attention could be paid to an issue that really matters? Or maybe it's just inherent in the use of a gasket type insert?

It has happened, but very infrequently. What drives me nuts even more is my floating card inside a PSA holder.

I think the issue did damage to 1 of my cards. Caused some chipping on the back of a high grade T206 common I purchased a couple months ago.

Does anyone know if they are doing anything to address this issue? I got this 1 in the mail a couple weeks ago. It is the 4th time this year I received a floating card in the mail. If I send it back to SGC will they reholder it and will this fix the problem?

I like graded cards because I feel it is the best way to protect them from damage. This isn't working for me.

Won these T4s this past spring. This is how they arrived out of the box.


Returned them to the AH who sent them to SGC for reholdering. Three months later I got them back. This time they were in a plastic sleeve. One stayed put, the other was still trying to escape.

If I were SGC I would be embarrassed.

David, that's ridiculous. And you're a more patient man than me. Three months??

[Kawika]

Fourteen weeks actually from the day I sent them off 'til the day I got them back. Part of the slow turnaround was on the AH but the mediocre slab job is all on SGC.

I strongly prefer SGC as a grading service because their slabs are easies to break the cards out of.

SGC's quality with regard to customer service has dropped off a cliff since Brian Dwyer left IMO. I won't be using their product any longer until they decide that the item that HOLDS THE CARD deserves the same attention as the piece of paper they redesigned after a few complaints.

Maybe if they lose enough customers they will design a quality gasket. Seems like it would be a fairly high priority, but what do I know.
