SGC new labels

[jamest206]

I shipped off a T206 Demmitt ST Louis last week for grading, got it back yesterday and it had the nice, beautiful A on it. My wife loved that and we both agreed that it adds more to the card vs a 1 or 2 ever would. It took a week for the process, and I couldn't be more happy.

Anything that gives more information about a card is really great, happy to see the change. But I wonder what gets "Authentic Altered" if there are "trimming" and "color added", etc. That leaves a little mystery to what altered is...maybe crease-pressing, cleaning/whitening, things like that maybe fall under that umbrella I guess.

This is very helpful to know in terms of cracking out for the buyer, or better yet, even buying, this is very buyer friendly; I like it but only for determination and cracking, not keeping. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what the issue is in a slab unless it's obvious. If a card is re-colored, you don’t want to crack if they say Miscut or trimmed. That’s their opinion. I respect that; however, you can weigh your opinions and either break and try again or try with another TPG.

Very Buyer Friendly!!

Sellers not so much, this IMO gives a big advantage to the buyers ��

It is getting to the point where SGC only needs 4 Authentic Flips with the sub grades. It is hard enough to get a numerical grade out of them.

I kid, I kid.

I think it's great that they will be including the reason for an Authentic grade on the flip. I don't mind buying A graded cards, but I do like to know the reason for the grade since it isn't always obvious.

Wonderful change.

Having more information is always great but those flips lack finesse aesthetically. Adding the word "trimmed" for example to the old A label seems like the better option.

In my opinion, more information is always better. Kudos to SGC. Bold move; I like it.

Pretty sure that my wife would look at me as if to say "and I care - why?""
