SGC mistake :-(

[Solemany2k]

I purchased t206 Ty Cobb red graded authentic the card is absolutely amazing but looks like a miss cut and not trimmed. I made the mistake of not taking it out and getting it regraded so I sold it fairly cheap because I've always trusted SGC s process. The new buyer cracked it open sent it back in and it came back with a 4.5 grade. I'm not a professional grader but I had a gut feeling and I blew it. Check it out

The lesson learned is sometimes your gut feeling is what you should go with. The buyer went with his gut and came out way ahead.

That is grading in a nutshell. They are human and this is going to happen to all of them. I have heard of collectors buying things to crack and resubmit, as their job.

Grading is completely a rigged game and it amazes me that few people realize or care.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Hopefully you're not out any real money and the loss is only the what could have been, which still sucks but can be chalked up to a learning experience. If you collect long enough things like this are going to happen but keep at it you'll likely win one too

when their motto is it's only a opinion they can not be held accountable.

Probably not - I think that's a generous grade on that Cobb.

Visible corner crease, four well rounded corners - but the centering and color are good.

I doubt if re-subbed this comes back a 3.5

Who else belives the grade depends on whom submits the card??

I'm a firm believer in this.

I believe you need your complete name to give that opinion.

I agree though, In my honest opinion it does make a difference who the submitter is.

I think there is some logic to this, as most any business tries to please their most loyal clients.

However, I also think that maybe there is an inherent bias in the subject group: the people who are more likely to get preferential treatment are people who submit more and the people who submit more are more likely to be industry professionals, the very people who likely have a discerning eye when it comes to spotting cards that will grade well.

Johnny, I don't think your thinking is out of line at all.....

I dunno, supposedly the process is anonymous. I have submitted maybe 2000 cards in my time, hardly a heavy hitter, and I always have a majority I'm happy with, some that I am bummed about and some I am pleasantly surprised by.

There are a lot of older graded cards that would not get the same grade today due to PSA's tighter standards. I have a couple in my collection as I'm sure most of us do.
