REA Ewing Ramly

[spacktrack]

Hi Rich,

This card was reholdered sometime between 2016 and now. It also sold in a Goodwin auction: http://goodwinandco.com/LotDetail.as...entoryid=28336. We did not submit the card for the new label but rather it was submitted for consignment that way.

My understanding of the reholder/relabel process has been that the card undergoes a grade review as well, but I can't speak to that for sure. (As many here know, I worked at SGC for a period of time up until 2010). Seeing the card in a new label certainly made us feel that SGC stood behind the grade.

I am not in a position to check the winner of the card right now, but I will cancel the sale if the winner feels the possibility of the card being sheet cut is something he's not comfortable with. It is interesting to note that the card sold for less this time than it did in REA in 2014. When I'm back in the office tomorrow, I will contact the winner and make sure he's aware of the past sales and potential history of the card.

And that is the definition of integrity......

Great job, Brian!!

There are several of these from the same 2014 lot that sold prior that have now been reholdered in the new SGC holder and subsequently offered at auction and on ebay. For those like Rich and myself they are easy to pick out and do not bring the value of a legitimate card, however over time they will devalue the "real" high end SGC T204's.

I doubt these cards were just sent in and reholdered, rather they were cracked out and resubmitted. The old holder would have been a huge red flag.

I have several scans of the different before and after holders. I also have about a dozen raw cards cut from the original sheet and a PSA holdered example or two.

I still cant believe he cut that sheet...how cool would that be today?

Brian's timely response to Rich's narrative concerning the Ramly Ewing sets the standard for integrity by an auction house. I am certain that had he known of any potential question regarding the card's provenance before the latest auction began, Brian would have talked with the consignor and probably have pulled it.

Thank you for your reassuring take on this, Brian.

Cheers,
Mike

I know an owner of a lot of the old labeled 1950's red man cards and he was told he had to resubmit for review any in the old label to see if they would qualify to be put in the new labeled holders. It was not just a simple reholdering process.

If the policy has not changed at SGC, I would venture to guess today's SGC
stands behind the grade too.

They should put "hand cut" on the labels and not make more mistakes like putting "hand cut" on cards which they absolutely know are not handcut.

There wasn't all that much demand in the hobby for uncut sheets in the 1960s and 70s, when many of them came to light. They were mainly seen as novelties, or evidence for how the cards were printed. When a guy brought several 1933 Goudey uncut sheets to a show in New York in 1974, he wanted to put them in the show's auction, but nobody was willing to pay the $200 minimum bid, so they went unsold.
