SGC new labels

Big fan here.

I got into a discussion on another platform about this change. One member said that he enjoyed the old A grade and how you had to look for the issue.

I do not enjoy that. Its a card, not a hardy boys mystery. Glad they made the change.

Darn, I guess I barely missed the cutoff.. This was graded a few days ago...

They referenced more big changes coming in the video with Peter. At some point it might be nice if they addressed curtailing their propensity to give a half grade to about every other card submitted...

Clarity, thoroughness, accuracy- I like it. It's not "buyer versus seller", it's
integrity and (apparently) a response to customer input. Trent King

Maybe I'm missing something, and no, I didn't watch the vid, but are all MC cards going forward all going to receive an "A" designation only?

If you want to watch the video, I took this post from John Rafferty over on the Postwar Cards board:

SGC talks about giving undefined A grades in this facebook video from today.

I watched the SGC video, and he said if you designate "Authentic Only" then they won't add the information about why the card was given an "A" designation.

I wouldn't think so. SGC has just always baked the "MC" that PSA might put on a qualifier into the grade. It's less than clear how this works, IMO. Is an otherwise NM card given a 2 or 3 if blatantly miscut?

if you checked "don't slab as A" you used to get the explanation on a slip that was returned with the card.
Those were more detailed than these, but this is a long overdue addition.
