My Latest submit to SGC - Results - Tell me what u think

[toledo_mudhen]

Not happy at all with results on these - I was thinking all 4 cards had a very strong shot at EXMT 6. Never dreamed that I would be seeing 3s-4s

Sent Brent at SGC an email asking for some kind of explanation on what they were seeing and the response was :

"sorry - don't release any grader notes - we can take another look at them BUT it will cost you another fee for each one"

WTF - So Done with SGC

It’s all about the all-mighty dollar 🤑🤑🤑

Looks like a red mark on the back by the S.O. category that will lower a grade in a big way. Usually it lowers the grade by 2 full grades. Easily a mid grade card but the mark hurts it.

Lonnie-

For better or worse, stray foreign marks result in a big ding as mentioned
above. I've also found that great looking cards are getting hit for faint
creasing. My more recent experience with SGC is that they crawled out of
the grading pit they dug for themselves during Covid, and have been good
(on my submission, that is). If you are done with SGC, I can't imagine how
you feel about PSA...

Yes - there is that...................

Might be relegated to only adding "already slabbed"?????

Skinner was the only one close to a 6, the others appear as 3-4 prior to grading.

as the old saying goes…it’s wise to let another fool spend his money on grading fees!…aka…lots of great deals on eBay from people that spent the money to grade cards but now are selling their “misses” for less than the processing fee! Meaning… lots of cheap already graded cards are on eBay!

Exactly correct. The 3.5 is as high as it is due to the overall nice condition, but the red mark can’t be overlooked.

Great looking cards, but as mentioned, some minute things caused the downgrades. The registry is powerful but I collect on eye appeal, so grades are a bit less of a concern.
The cards will get you top end values of their respective grades anyway.

In my world a grade should be based on some objective standard of eye appeal. The fact it does not IMO makes the current grading criteria worthless to a true collector.

I mean, I understand why you're disappointed but at the same time they probably get 500 "why didn't I get higher grades" emails per day.

[tiger8mush]

The Skinner is a beautiful card. They all are. Don't let the number on the flip deter you from enjoying them in your collection!

Yep totally get that - I do, however, remember a time when SGC went more than the "extra mile" in terms of Customer Service.

So they have opted to go this route - and I will opt for a different route the next time i have some raw cards that need to be graded.

Thinking that might work out better for me and also for them as there will be one less guy bitchin about something they did or didn't do.

The Skinner(3) card is nicer than the Wright(4). And SGC is richer now.
