runscottI exchanged several emails with the seller yesterday and he also pointed out that these items were in SCD. SCD is a great resource, but of course can't be perfect - too much material and too many variables.
The "it's in SCD" argument doesn't really hold water. SGC doesn't grade everything that's in SCD, so they are already using their own judgement, which I think they should do more of. While SCD can't put everything in their guide because it would make the guide too bulky and less useable, SGC certainly has room on their labels to add designators that SCD doesn't have room for - an example would be series designators for t206 cards. I'm not an Old Judge collector, but I would think that additional info could be added to the Old Judge labels as well - stuff that isn't broken down in the SCD guide.
