SGC Grading Question

[magic1313]

Cool. Like I said it is possible and I know nothing about grading so I myself wouldn't be able to detect the trimming. Maybe the others are trimmed as well. I have about a dozen examples that are head scratchers including some boxing cards that just don't make sense to me, especially when compared with other cards of the same series that received a number grade. I also have 100's of t206 cards that have that same gap on the left that received number grades.

I have never seen so much top border on a T206 card before. Is that card very oversized?

[magic1313]

The top border is larger than any other t206 that I have and the bottom is not smaller which might indicate a miscut.

What was the reason for the "A"? SGC usually gives a reason. If they didn't, call them and I'm sure you will find the answer. They are very easily the best in customer service.

No reason was given. Their Customer Service has been great so far.

Unfortunately we don't keep records as to why a card receives an Authentic grade, but as has been mentioned here, it is likely due to trimming, a miscut that was too severe for a numerical grade, or a deviation from the size requirement that was too much for a numerical grade.

You can send the card back to us with your next order or send it in solo for an explanation. Please call or e-mail to arrange that if interested.

Thanks,

It looks really oddly shaped. It looks too tall (possible miscut?) and is also curved along the bottom (possible trim). But its hard to tell with the picture, the lens of a camera can distort a card. A scan would tell a better story.
