Is this typical for SGC holders?

Erick I'm guessing these would be all lower graded cards you plan to send in. Look, I'm an SGC guy as well, but if I had cards that were mid to higher grade all be damned if I'd be sending them to SGC until they correct this whole gasket slippage problem in fear of damage to my higher valued nicer condition cards.

Just one collectors stance on this issue.

Yup... all lower grade stuff (SGC 50-60 max for sure). If I had anything REALLY valuable, I wouldn't be taking this chance.

That happened to me with a few of my cards from a submission last month. I was able to knock them back in place but I find that unacceptable. You pay for a grade and a holder, but if the holder can't even hold the card what's the point? Also I found that compared to PSA, SGC holders scratch way too easily not to mention sometimes you'll get a freshly graded card back and there's smudge marks all over the inside of the plastic holder.

Still I'm happy in general with SGC's customer service. I was one of the people complaining about the new flip without the green border and SGC listened and changed it. I just wish they would resolve this gasket issue that's been a problem for far too long. I too wouldn't trust submitting cards graded say higher than a 6 for fear that they will come loose in the gasket and come back damaged in the mail.

I'm not a big card collector or card submitter, but SGC needs to get off their knees here, they're blowing it. An acknowledgement would go a long way.

Thus far I've not had any issues with my submissions but that could be because they nearly always are thicker cards like Exhibits or custom gasket cards.

If it wasn't for the financial aspect of things I'd send everything to Beckett. Unfortunately, having the better product isn't necessarily a predictor of success.

I collect a lot of cabinet-sized cards (M101-6s, Kashin Premiums) and frankly the cards are at more risk of damage inside those shitty SGC gaskets than they are in a plastic sleeve. I have dozens of those cards in SGC holders right now and they slide all over with minimal jostling. I have had M101-6's slide out of the gasket in a car ride across town.

It's great that they listened to their customers about the design of the flip, but getting this fixed is essential to their business being worth using IMO. The flip can be neon pink as far as I am concerned; I won't be using SGC again until this gets corrected.

I'm guessing that SGC has not responded because this isn't a quick fix. If they intend on fixing it they either need a thicker gasket or redesigned holder or both. At the very least a fix will be time consuming and costly as they have to replace inventory.

It would be a big plus if Sean or Earl would at least address the issue here on this thread.

Say SOMETHING to all the loyal SGC customers!

This has been an ongoing situation with SGC. Quite frankly, I am amazed that more threads have not come about because of this. I had a T206 SGC 96 that this happened to me, fortunately, they reholdered it and there was no damage...

I sorta enjoy getting my SGC cards back in the gasket. All you Cracker Jack lovers should remember this.
