Any Post Card experts here?

[rdixon1208]

As many have said, I really should have done my own research. It probably wouldn't have taken too much. As I said before, I saw the SGC slab and assumed it was good. Now for my lesson in humility.

I seem to do fine with cards. I've spent a few years around here and the old board and feel like I've got a pretty good eye for reprints and scam artists. It's when I get off the beaten path and buy a photo, postcard, ticket, etc. that I seem to get burned. I mean seriously....who reprints tickets!

Oh well....lesson learned. Hopefully the last one.

That isn't your fault RDixon, in the current collecting environment we are in, those companies portray themselves as the "experts" I have been saying since 1991 when PSA first got laughed at at the National, that the 3rd party grading is a joke. It does serve a purpose to help with a lot of online reprints. But the companies should hire or "UTILIZE" experts who have offered them help and even free help.

I think SGC is the best choice as PSA is more quantity then quality.

I do not consider myself qualified to be slabbing post cards, and I can promise you that I have forgotten more then the graders know about them.

Chin up! Keep collecting! any hobby will die without new and constant collectors.

Dan' s right...I'm sure we all have been burned at one time or another in the hobby...I know I have had my share. I hope you can get SGC to work with you on this one. Good Luck!
