What happens when SGC loses a card?

Rare maybe, but unfortunately it happens. Best you can do is document your packaging and process on your end as well. This of course can be easier said than done.

Regardless, if the card is listed as part of your order, & you know beyond a reasonable doubt that you sent it - then their insurance while your cards are in their possession should cover it. Beyond that, they would basically have to call you a liar, which maybe if it’s a fraudster trying to do it repetitively - but I would highly doubt they start that way.

How is the card valued for insurance purposes? If I am reading the thread correctly the card was never graded. If you thought the card was going to get a 10 that value is a lot different than if you thought it was going to get a 5. Do you have images of the card you sent? That would help you make your case for its value. Shit happens but waiting this long for a definitive response is ridiculous.

I'd suggest you post an image of the card. The board can give you a pretty accurate assessment of its' value.

Hi Jay. You're correct, it went missing before it was graded. I have images of the card (see below). It's a Type-1 1932 Sanella Ruth. I reckon it would grade between a 4 to a 5. It's got great centering, the color and surface are great, but the corners bring it down. I'd be interested to hear opinions.

Ive been trying to get a type-1 for a while. I was really happy to find it.

I agree with you about the wait though. I can't understand why it takes more than a day to look at the video recording of my box being opened. Hopefully I get a definitive response on Monday or Tuesday. I'm getting pretty frustrated as the 9 other cards in my order aren't being processed while they try to find my Ruth.

Doubt you would get more than your declared value, still waiting to hear what you declared it. Psa tore a card in half and there was no negotiation. You are Paid what you declared.

They are a band of idiots. My very last sub I fought the charges and won. I dropped down every 1952 topps as a "gray back" and they were graded as regular 1952s. Their response "we only differentiate reds and blacks, not grays" meanwhile REA had about 5 recently graded as gray backs. Couldn't get anyone on the phone, all my contacts are no longer there. Never again

I'm OK with that. Hopefully they find my card. If not, the declared value is all I'm expecting.
