The new SGC is almost here!

I see the certs no longer have the dash and three numbers after what used to be the submission number, representing the cards within the submission. Is there somewhere they explain the change in cert. numbers?

Yeah, they said they randomized them for greater privacy.

The sequential cert and submission numbers made it very easy to ID bad card batches, you no longer have that tool to weed out some problematic cards.

I think the question is how they're going to square it with the current listing, both in the registry and pop report.
1) If they do a straight reholder, will the new flip have a new cert number?
2) Will it if they do a review submission where the card is being regraded?
3) Can both number types live together in harmony in their database?

PSA style obfuscation?

Nothing like making your business stand out by combining the worst features of your competitors.

Between this random number generator

Refusing to honor old label grades


Sudden attention to centering


The sweet embrace if death wont be long now. Since psa has failed any star cards and vintage signed cards, and SGC has added Phil Marks, I'll continue to send them signed cards, but that where it ends for me. On a recent sub they told me a psa 7 o/c equates to an SGC 2! The only saving grace from SGC was an accurate grade where anyone can judge centering, now that is out the window.

Anyone have more pics of mantle 52 topps sgc 9 or t206 Wagner sgc 4?

My camera phone is not the best, and the cards were behind glass with bright LED lighting which screwed up the colors, but I had to snap some shots of these cards.

Beautiful pics thank you!

I personally like the flips, they look so much more modern than the old when comparing side by side.
