Default SGC Authentic Grade Requirements

Posted By: Jason Silvey

Does anyone know the SGC authentic grade requirements? I have a T206 that's had the white border completely trimmed off along both sides and the top and it also has back damage. Will they give me an "A"? I've tried emailing but with no response yet. Thanks.

Jason

The only thing to watch out for is if SGC considers the card not large enough to slab. Trimming per se doesn't render it ungradable as "authentic." You might want to send them a scan and ask them if it will grade as "authentic" before submitting it.

I just Emailed SGC on Sunday about a card i want graded AUT because of a 1/2 inch cut at bottom of card. I also sent them a scan but i have not heard from them yet. I know they may get 100's of emails so i called. The guy said yes to my question but he did not have a scan. I guess i will wait for a reply.

SGC has been known to refuse to slab authentic cards if they determine they are "too" altered.

I have had a few cards returned this way. Usually they are missing a substantial corner with some of the image included. If it is trimmed to border it will probably get aut. Sending a scan seems like a good idea. Let us know if this works.

I remember back in the early 90's John Brigandi had a 51 bowman Mantle that was trimmed to fit in a stack of 50 bomans for sale at his shop in New York.

It was sad, but I often wonder what the third party graders would've given that card if they were around back then....

Make sure you spell out to them that if it is graded Auth., that they slab it, otherwise you will get your card back, unslabbed and with no credit.

I notice that when I get the invoice directly from SGC, there is a check box if you want the card graded as "Authentic" but there isn't that option on the online invoice. Do you just write that in someplace on the online invoice?

I put a sticky on all my submission forms (PSA & SGC) requesting items not eligible for a numeric be slabbed as "authentic".

Both companies have returned a couple cards unslabbed that have been "too" altered or are missing too much of the card. I'm not exactly what their standards are though.

I received a response from Michael Goldberg at SGC last night requesting scans of the card. I'll post the response and the scans I sent once I hear back.

Received a answer to my question about my card. Michael Goldberg forward my scan to the head grader. Tough to tell from a scan sometimes he said and would like to see card in person but he feels it would get a AUT

I got an email this morning from Bob Luce confirming that there is enough Cobb here for the Authentic grade.
