Nobody will want that thing...lol........They will say it needs a qualifier.

Hopefully, when the detritus is removed, it won't leave an impression on the card.

This is what I am wondering how is detritus or whatever it's called any better. As tight as it those slabs are encased it is bound to leave some kind of mark which will also bring down the grade. Either way SGC screwed up what appears to be an awesome card. I would be angry.

LOL, only the company that does by far the worst job at grading uses qualifiers. Even they seem to be getting away from that beyond silly practice.

If OP doesn't want to send it back, he can give it to his new long lost friend James. James will crack it out, remove the detritus, impression or otherwise, and just enjoy having the freaking card.

LOLOLOLOL!!!! It's a nice one! Like someone else said, if that is trash in the slab, I hope it doesn't leave an impression.

Nomination for best thread of 2023, without a doubt. I love this place. I have learned a lot, participated in some great discussions/debates but above all, I have been entertained. Leon where do I send payment?

I think there was a story arc in Peanuts, where Pigpen spends his Halloween trick or treating with his best friend, Detritus Mays.

[bobbyw8469]

Peanuts was a great strip.

Great thread! I've heard the word detritus in the past but I don't think I ever took the time to look it up. I learned something today.

After further examination Bobby, I don't think that is undesirable detritus... it looks like the infamous Mays swoosh autograph. You may actually now have a signed Mays Red Man!

One of my coworkers actually signs her name like that. Crazy, I know.

First thing that jumped out at me, other than the shadow play, was the absolutely straight ends of the black interloper. That is something that would never occur in the natural marker-using world...unless, perhaps, some highly skilled medieval scribe (with proper pen nib attachments) was recently employed by SGC??
