On the subject of getting an issue catalogued then graded...I've had a good share of experience on both ends. The graders are just trying to find good information; I've never seen evidence otherwise. Sloppiness at most (I got a good laugh some years ago when one of them refused to grade a catalogued card because it wasn't in the book; turns out their book was several editions out of date). I've found PSA is more stubborn than the others w/r/t new issues. I suspect this is a function of size. They are a bit bureaucratic and simply do not make judgment calls. I experienced this a few years ago with an Exhibit card that PSA insisted was from a different year than the actual year of issue because of a missing ad back, even though the players on the front would have been anachronisms if they were right. We eventually sorted it out but they do not just readily accept a neutral (wasn't even my card) third party's opinion that isn't written down somewhere. The SGC guys used to call me with with questions about boxing and Exhibit issues. I always found their research people willing to listen rather than rely on a catalog (probably since I wrote the f'ing catalog). FWIW, when I have something really good to report on w/r/t a set I try to break it with Sports Collectors Daily first and then (if it relates to my subject matter) put it into the next editions of my books before I even think about taking it to a TPG.

My only experience was with putting together the checklist for 1932 Bulgaria Sport. They had graded individual cards of mine but wouldn't do a registry on it without a set composite. Finally found a collector in Germany who had the album they're supposed to be pasted into and they were willing to send me a picture of every page.

I ended up tracking down Jerry Jonas and had a nice phone conversation with him. He told me what he could recall about the sets. I had been fascinated by the set because I saw it listed in a price guide when I was younger and just starting to collect. Plus it had a Koufax, and the Dodgers were my team. I figured I would never find any, but ended up hitting the jackpot.
I got my sheet and a cut up set from the same person, a former executive with a MLB team who was employed around that time. He was a big card collector, so no surprise that he ended up with the sets. I also ended up with the folder and paperwork from the same man later on, that I featured in my blog about the issue. https://1978theyearitallbegan.blogsp...ns-update.html Here is the follow up article I wrote after speaking with Jonas directly. https://1978theyearitallbegan.blogsp...entations.html Quote:
