I understand what you're saying now Charles and you're right, when I check the cert on SGC 2 Wagner with the new slab it shows that it was graded in August 2007 so even though they changed the cert the date of grading didn't change and the SGC 5 Wagner was graded in 2021 and wasn't in an old slab as Greg B. stated.

It would have been super-weird for them to hype a card as though they had never seen one this nice before if all it was was a reslab.

SGC's pop is a train wreck that will never be fixed.

PSA's T206 pop is a wreck too. The choice to implement brand and factory data after grading so many cards just makes it impossible to get a comprehensive picture. I get the change but it does not help.

+1 Agree it is a big opportunity and the Population reports are especially important on older items(especially with being Regraded and slabbed etc) and rare items (that could falsely increase the population and thus the value)
