SGC - say it aint so

Yes, the bottom appears to be trimmed above where there should be two lines of text. The "1886-87" labeling is what they use for these, as I've received several back with the same designation.

Thanks for the info. Not my wheelhouse, so nearly everything is something new to learn.

Matthew,

You are so right. If you have ever collected Old Judge cards, you'd know in an instant that bottom advertising section has always been considered as part of a complete card, and that in the past all recognized TPGs have always considered an OJ card with that bottom part cut off as only being Authentic, at best. It is technically a trimmed card. Just pick up a copy of Jay, Joe, and Ron's book on the Goodwin/Old Judge cards. It is pretty much accepted throughout the hobby as the bible on that particular subject.

Nice Silver Flint card by the way.

(And no, I don't get a kickback or anything for helping to promote how good their book is. So no troll comments, please.)

Yikes, that poor Darling...

Not that it's any excuse, but that could have been a reholder. And, IF it was, that means SGC stood behind their past product, for better or worse.

PS - Matthew, I will take that Silver Flint off your hands...please and thank you .

I think you are right about it being a reholder. Cert# says it was graded in 2017, and I think SGC went to the current all-black slabs/flip in 2018.

That would mean they they missed it TWICE. I didn't realize SGC went to this new holder back in 2018, for some reason I thought it was more recent than that, but I don't keep up with those details. Good to know though.
