As far as I know, altered cards submitted to SGC can't receive anything better than 'A'. If it's altered in any way (see prior posted link in this thread for the full list of alterations that will get a card rejected) it cannot receive a numerical grade. So at least with SGC, it seems to me that intent is actually not a factor. Altered should mean ungradeable, I'm my opinion.

Sometimes, a card can have a stray mark sneak through - anywhere. In addition, some sets with sloppy production value produce 'marked' cards that often have stray printing marks. Good luck finding a 1969 Topps Super Mays without the print spot. It does happen in other sets too. The printing of the Red Hearts resulted in many speckled cards. Around the name, team and position. As for the stamp, I know some 'sets' were created by collectors, in a way. There's a guy on here who is pursuing a T206 set that has been hit with a personalized stamp on the back by their original owner (pretty darn good thread). He's got a bunch and wants them all. A set within the set, in a way. As such, perhaps PSA or SGC would be willing to work with a collector in that way. I'm not entirely sure. |

How would the guy on the phone know why your card got an A? Do they keep records of all the cards that they grade? (And if so, why not send it along with the card when they return it?) I mean, there's no way this guy remembers grading this card. He must grade a thousand cards a day. Or maybe when you spend your day peering through the glare off of Kris Bryant and Mike Trout cards you actually do remember grading a 1953 Mantle?

I can also say that when I went in person the first, they had 2 of the ten I had submitted not slabbed and had a printed flip with the reason for defect (I had a 69 Topps Mantle that was trimmed and a 62 Topps that had color added. They told me it would only take a minute to slab them. Which I had them do since I like the look, though I have since upgraded. Last edited by Timbegs; 03-21-2017 at 02:21 PM.

Card grades and notes are documented and kept on record via the serial number on the flip. Some companies like CGC (comic grading) charges extra for the grading notes like said example ^ if you want them.

That said, I appreciate the info and the work you did. Information is king. I'll be more careful when looking fat graded cards for sure. This turned into a decent little thread, huh? |
