Sure, that is true for your and my cards. But this card is unique in the hobby.
I'm just not ruling it out.

The possibility this was submitted to/for PSA and the parent company sent it to SGC instead is exactly zero. That is not how it works and there is no evidence whatsoever that it is and nobody will produce anything but a hot take.

As you wish but it didn't happen.

Gorgeous card but by looking at the pictures I don't think this is a 10 because look at the left and right edges.

You've got some studying to do, my friend.

IMo What a fraud. "Private sale" the whole think just reeks.

IMO Goldin is (still) a con man

My grandmother is silently in her grave waiting for her Don West/Scoreboard inc refunds from HSN

Edited here (under penalty of lawsuit from Ken sheer moments after I was told my "info needed to be updated" and "I wasnt the only one who had been asked")

Guessing the moderator is free to disseminate our (personal) information as they see fit.

While you are busy scrubbing the internet Ken, see if you can find this quote...probably scared them off as well

""No other individual has done so much to screw over so many in this hobby. Ken Goldin was the man in charge at the now defunct Score Board, Inc. Many believe Ken Goldin pushed out countless product with autograph redemptions that he knew he wouldn't have to honor once Score Board, Inc. filed for bankruptcy. He left collector's holding now worthless redemption vouchers for the very same product he now often sells on Shop At Home for severely inflated amounts. "

So SGC already had the buyer lined up per the article. I thought Ken was no longer affiliated with PSA/SGC? Who brokered this deal?

PSA is tied in tight with eBay and Ken is part of eBay so that is a tough one to grasp since many were saying how Ken and Nat were no longer getting along. Be that as it may, I was told the buyer of the SGC 10 is from FL. SGC is in FL so maybe they contacted the person who bought it? Bigger question is why bring Ken in unless Ken is now tighter with SGC than PSA.

This is likely going to be another one of those situations where the details, which are none of our business, never come out and all of us will start presenting our theories...as I just did.

It makes no sense to me. If SGC put the parties together, and there was already the card shop guy involved too, why do you need someone else taking a fee? Assuming the buyer is who I think, he's very sophisticated and could certainly buy a card on his own.

And we cannot rule out that everything that is going on right now is just some collective dream that we are all part of.

I am with the others that your suggestion is nothing more than fantasy. No secret behind the scenes meeting with the top brass at Collectors making these decisions. Hate to rain on your parade but this was nothing more than the owner deciding to submit his find to SGC.

If I sent this card to PSA:

-It would take three weeks for them to open the package;

-The grade would be in progress for three months; and

-They would upcharge me before telling me. I'd wake up to a maxed out credit card.

All to get a nine.

But seriously, if I was a rich man I would bid well north of a million dollars to get this card. Goliath is my favorite player of all time and this is the nicest rookie card I’ve ever seen.
