I'd like to get some others done too, like my 68 Pele. I have a pretty good rapport with the people there so I am optimistic.
If you need support on Argentinean cards I found a really good reference called " Difíciles Eran Las De Antes" that I bought through Amazon. Since I don't read Spanish well it is a slow slog but with a translate program I make it work as needed. It cover Argentinean futbol cards 1910-2013 with lots of pictures and has helped me ID some cards. It could serve as proof for a TPG of what specific cards are. There also was a museum exhibition in Argentina, with some pictures and info online if anyone is interested:

I know this is from some time ago. I've been absent from collecting cards for a while. Firstly, excellent feature on Argentine cards. I am glad to see more people in North America involved in researching these cards.
Although I have been an opponent of grading cards for profit, the proper labeling and safe guarding of vintage samples can only be helpful.
That said, I am still dead set against PSA and their flagrant disregard for accurate labeling. I have a file a dozens of erroneous labeled soccer cards to the detriment of those trying to learn.
Lastly, although it has been a few years, I wrote some of the first article in SGC Magazine about soccer cards. I am happy to see the improved interest and information.
If anyone has experience in the process of mailing cards to SGC, I would be eager to hear your insight.
Thanks
