My answer all day long. And wait!--it only took one second to complete the process and cost you a few cents for the top loader. And look at all that money and aggravation that was saved.

I agree with you guys that it is, after all, just cardboard and a hobby to avoid the distractions of a pretty scary world.

I was fishing to see if I was missing something with their verdict on the T204 and to give a heads-up to anyone who may be thinking of submitting a blank-backed card to SGC. Full disclosure: they agreed to crack the card for me if I sent it back and agreed to a refund for the grading. They also agreed with the idea of being more explicit about what they do and do not grade on their website, as other TPGs have done. Hopefully, this will save others some trouble.

I will say the policy on cards with tabs is understandably different than that of a skinned card. One has a portion that was intended to be removed, whether it's a Red Man or a NY Journal American or a Zeenut, the tab was supposed to be cut off. That's why there's a nice premium for a complete version but a tab removed is still legit.
