SGC is worth as much as PSA.

(Just poking the bear, I love SGC up to 10% of my collection).

1939-47 Salutations Exhibits are separate from the 1947-66 Exhibits and were issued during those years.





1948 HOF Exhibits were issued in 1948.

1948-52 Champions Exhibits and 1948-52 Football Exhibits were issued in those years.

The TPGs are infallible, and when you see a grade on a flip you know it has to be the rock-solid truth.

A couple of my recent favorites...

-Probstein shill bids their own auctions.

-PSA's grading standards haven't changed in recent years.

While I know there are a number of issues with single and low double digit pops that are significantly more rare than T206, I find it interesting that even a "mainstream" issue like the 1914 Cracker Jack is close!

T206 Wagner:
PSA examples = 36
SGC examples = 14

1914 Cracker Jack Wagner
PSA examples = 45
SGC examples = 38

"L@@K" and "Read Below" actually make people do those things instead of immediately abandon the auction.

287. Slyopic (also Glaucomedy)
The utilization of ‘at signs’ to imitate eyes and form the word “L@@K” in an auction title.

Having a card listed at a ridiculously exorbitant, usurious eBay price and thinking that offering a 5% OFF 'discount' (yes, that's air quotes) to watchers will lead to a sale.

The dog ate my baseball cards!
And I would add Cal Ripkin, as well as Feller and O'Neil, to the happy signers club.
