What the Hell SGC I am out

[Kutcher55]

Some guy on FB recently posted a freshly graded SGC 5 ‘63 Mantle that had a pube on the Mick’s chin. It was hilarious — the pube was shaped similarly to the Family Guy’s chin that seems to resemble a ballsack.

I think the owner is a net54 guy. Maybe he will share it here. It’s pretty hilarious although probably not for him.

INSIDE the case?? Or outside?? I doubt very seriously that was slabbed like that.

Inside. At least that was the claim of the post. No reason to think the guy was making it up as I believe him to be a reputable sort.

Yep! See above. That was me. It was totally slabbed like that, and stuck to the inside of the slab (thankfully not the card...) when I popped it.

Thanks for reaching out to me, Jason.

They offered you more than me and I wasn't seeking anything except for them taking responsibility for putting a crease in a card that I subbed that wasn't previously creased. Brent blew me off, so I emailed Peter and 2 weeks later no response. I just ask that they let the grader know to be more careful and acknowledge that a mistake was made. So after 20+ years, I may finally be done with SGC...or until somebody more mature than Peter is steering the ship

I must have missed this. Can you give me the cliff notes version?? I think we all have stories about graders. I could tell you some things about PSA that you wouldn't believe.

Peter has never acknowledged anything I've ever sent him. I get it, I'm a small fry vintage guy who makes a few submissions a year - they are trying to be taken seriously on the larger stage with PSA. But I can't have much respect for a leader who just totally blows off how his organization came to do good business in the first place as a way to move forward. If SGC places all their eggs in the basket of getting bigger and more trusted with modern, I would highly question their future. Not what most typical "niche" players seek to do.

LOL, why does everybody always assume it's a pube. I'll never understand that.

Because they always are. I know of no other hobby that begets such a large number of errant examples. They're everywhere: cardboard boxes, poking out of jerseys, monster boxes, top loaders, and now they're even forever encased in plastic.
