1956 Mantle Advice Needed Sgc 96

[pokerplyr80]

I forgot to mention if it was graded before SGC implemented their new grading scale the chances are very low. SGC doesn't even guarantee those will cross into new holders. If the flip only has the 96 grade and not the 9 as well it's a long shot at best.

If you think it will get a 9 then send it to PSA in the SGC slab and specify a minimum grade of a 9. If you crack it you risk not getting that grade from PSA and getting a lower grade from SGC - not to mention two grading fees.

If you submit a card in person (i.e. a show) do they let you talk to the graders? In other words, if he submitted it for crossover at a show and it didn't cross over for whatever reason, would someone tell him why not?

What he said. My view of SGC is that the greater a card is o/c, the higher the grade. SGC has a blind eye to centering. Doesn't apply with PSA. So, unless your 96 is 50-50 all around on both sides and no flaws, getting an even cross ain't gonna happen. Don't pop it out, just send it in in the SGC slab for a like x-over. That way, if it fails, you still have your 96.

It has both the 96 and 9.

Thats good at least. As someone else mentioned just send it in the case with psa 9 minimum grade requested. At only a few hundred bucks to pick up 25k or more in value it only has to work 1 in 50 tInes to make sense. I'm no expert but I'd say your chances of crossing it are greater than 2%.

That card is beautiful, and nicely centered. Submit it in the SGC holder and ask for the minimum grade you will accept. It looks like it should cross to a PSA 9, but it's a crap shoot.
