W575-1 Were Never Hand Cut

Funny timing. I just got grades back from a PSA order and they labeled my Lou Gertenrich Max Carey as "e575-1 hand-cut".

I sense the major TPGs are becoming more and more clueless when it comes to pre-War scarcities.

Jefferson Burdick would be proud. The biggest grading company now completely fabricating ACC numbers. That and, unless the Gertenrich is trimmed and it probably isn't, they got the hand cut wrong too! A potential 2fer....

E575-1 is hilarious!

The reality is this… had Burdick seen a Lou Gertenrich card he would have given it an E-designation… just like Standard Biscuit was given a D-designation because he knew they existed. Burdick fully intended the ACC to be a living/growing catalog of cards as evidenced by him completely reorganizing the designations at one point and the fact that he left gaps in certain areas to accommodate new discoveries.

I just have the Peckinpaugh properly spelled and cut, but identified as "Authentic" by SGC.

SGC,

You made an error here.

Whoops! I screwed that up. I meant to type w575 but typed e575. I guess because the E is right next to the W. So, it's not nearly as bad as I made it out to be. I just thought it weird that they have stopped labeling cards with Lou Gertenrich backs and they also called it hand-cut which we know they weren't.

I wonder if this means they will stop recognizing all the m101, e135, and e121 family of backs in the future?

Sounds like a data entry mistake. There is no reason to think they will stop cataloging them based in the set they are from.
