So much for SGCs looking better than PSAs....

You know what kind of card never has this problem? A raw one.

I need to get a couple N173s graded, would SGC grade cabinets without the baggie upon request?

Probably, just don't ever move it again or risk it sliding under the gasket.

If you don't like the PSA mylar, you can reholder it for $7 and include a note to holder without it. Passing up cards that you want entirely for that reason is silly.

Is this for sure true? I had wondered about this. Can you request no mylar on a new submission as well?

If you do this, what happens to say an oversized T206? Would it just knock around inside a space that is too large for it?

100% success rate for me.

At least SGC doesn't have a new giant logo on the front and back of their slab.

The card itself should get all the attention, not a third party logo.

Well, apparently all the value is in the slab and not the card, so why shouldn't it get all the attention?

i don't understand people who say they won't buy a card in a XXXX holder because of how it looks. if you really like/need the card, buy it an TAKE IT OUT OF THE HOLDER.

it's like not buying a beautiful painting you love because you hate the frame.

It's more like not buying a painting where the frame is a big piece of the value because you don't like the frame. (Some people collect frames, and some can be around nice but not all that valuable paintings)

Last I checked a slab was a 4 cent piece of plastic.

Which, unfortunately, is a necessity (in most cases) for maximum resale value.

Not the same at all but I understand what your saying. The difference is most paintings are typically a one of a kind, cards are not. So unless your assume it's a one of a kind card it might be a different story. I collected mostly just T206s and I usually had a number of choices. If I passed on one, I knew at some point another one would pop up in the same grade and I didn't have to look at the wrinkled plastic in my display case. Now, if I knew I was never going to see another one or it was a one off then of course I wouldn't pass...
