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!

IMO, SGC's silence is deafening. Unfortunately, many organizations believe that silence is the best way to handle "damage control." Personally, I'm much more inclined to patronize an organization that quickly steps up to the plate with a "mea culpa" coupled with a vow to remedy the problem.

Hi Guys,
We realize that we are a little late responding to this thread. We have been looking into the issue and waiting to respond until we had some useful information. So to the question, "Is this typical for SGC holders?" The answer to that question is "no" and it seems to be an issue with the insert we use for T206 sized cards. Most of the people on this board have been submitting cards to SGC for years without experiencing cards moving within the holder so we are confident that this issue is isolated. We believe the black insert adds much appeal to our product, however it is sometimes difficult to have the card remain in place if the insert is not produced properly. This is especially true for cards that are undersized for the issue or cards that are of thin card stock. Any slight variance in the insert can cause card movement. We have gone through our inventory and discovered that some of the inserts that we use for T206 sized cards had some minor warping. This warping can disturb the precision of the fit and create space allowing for movement. We have also noticed a slight difference in size of the die-cut or opening where the card sits. The dies that are used to make the inserts wear down (producing a less precise cut) over time and we have had new ones produced over the years by our manufacturer. As best as we can determine, it appears that the cards that have shifted in the holder were encapsulated with inserts cut from an older die, some with larger openings. Going forward we will be adding to our Quality Control process a visual inspection of the inserts to ensure that the die cut opening is uniform and free of warping. For those of you who have received cards that have shifted in the holder, we ask that you return them to SGC so they can be re-holdered with a proper fitting insert. This will be done free of charge. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and please know that we are working hard to make sure that these issues do not occur going forward. We appreciate your patience, understanding and loyalty. Regards, Sean Skeffington SGC If anyone has any questions, please contact me directly at sskeffington@sgccard.com |

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.

He's comparing maneuvering the clown face to get the tiny silver balls in the eye slots.... To the SGC gasket tap. Both take a degree of luck and skill
