SGC no longer grading t206s?

[jjp3rd]

If true, this would be a serious gut punch.

SGC received and logged 12 T206s from me YESTERDAY

I believe the correct discussion here should evolve around whether SGC continues to accept and grade blank back T206s, or not?

This non graded card was part of a sub of over a dozen T206 cards they got graded.

That is a crazy response, I’ve spoken with Brent, not sure what he smoked before sending that email

Apparently they don't. Although they told me a month before I submitted them that they do. A catalogued t206 card that has been slabbed forever by SGC. Easy to tell as well. But I'm not salty

My guess is there is a typo in that email and that perhaps Brent was typing too fast an left out "blank back" or some prefix-statement to the phrase "T206's"

That said, its annoying if they are no longer slabbing blank backs. Not sure why they would stop; frankly, not sure how many unslabbed blank-backs are still out there. I

Good point Ryan, probably not many, which makes the re-holder thought even more intriguing

I still think they don't know WTF they are doing and have little confidence in them anymore. Dismal knowledge if you ask me.

Check out the video that SGC put out showing their grading process. The graders look fresh out of college. This is what's grading our cards. I have been saying fow awhile now that there is a prejudice against vintage while modern gets all of the high grades. I am sort of a hypocrite because I still will be using SGC because I really hate PSA.

It’s not any different at PSA?

I'd be careful with passing judgment on someone simply because they're part of a particular age cohort. Our very own wazoo was born around the same time as those graders...and I would trust him to grade a T206 accurately.

What would you expect? It's not like they're paying $40/hr to get 35-year old white collar workers.

Since most cards sell based on the flip, even with premiums for the high end of the grade in theory there should be some great opportunities out there. Sucks if you're submitting, is great if you're mostly a buyer.

Josh,
I heard about your submission! That sucks man. I know a few whom plan to submit and keep trying to get them slabbed. If they hold strong to this, I’m wondering how they will treat a blank back re-holder? Can I still get a previously graded one in a new slab? Crappy ordeal

Great to see you take a good attitude about it though!

Cheers
