nolemmings (Todd)Your answer seems incomplete. You stated you "worked on" only a handful of cards that were then submitted to SGC. Earlier you said SGC caught only 11 of 60. 60 is far more than a handful. If most of these were previously acquired and not "worked on" by yourself, why alter any-- wasn't your sample size was more than large enough to see how good SGC was? Why submit 60, and did you pay the fees for these? What became of the 49 that SGC missed? you say you did not sell them- did you crack them open? Do you still have a copy of the submission form?
I am more than a little troubled by your experiment, on a few levels. I for one can rarely afford the high dollar cards in high grade, so it gives me little comfort to hear that only commons were submitted. I would be extremely cheesed off if I paid good coin for a lot of vintage SGC 84 commons that later turned out to be nothing but alterations. I am hopeful you can clear this up.
