T204
So I think if SB's point were rigorously applied, they would never give a numerical grade to Zeenuts lacking the coupon, and they do (I have a bunch). They are also "separated" from ~1/4-1/3 of the card.
I spoke to SGC, and they said my points were "well taken." |

I can't help but wonder if SGC's new masters are calling the shots re. your T204 blank backed card.

$15 no mas
I've sent around 1500 pre-war cards to PSA and over 2000 pre-war cards to SGC over the last decade. I have had WAY MORE aggravating moments with PSA than with SGC. That being said, both companies have had my blood pressure up with mistakes and/or questionable grades...NEVER have I had the inclination to go online and rant-blast either of them because I have seen it done a hundred times by as many people, and this tells me that neither service is perfect and that I'm not special in that regard. Its part of the modern hobby...

Not that big a deal, they're only baseball cards, not worth getting that upset about.

I would just display the card in a rigid toploader and call it a day. The Devo-esque bar code clashes with the ornate and antique beauty of the card anyway.
That said... there is a huge opportunity for a new Grading Company to rival SGC with the black apron. Would love to see it happen... or perhaps CSG can make the investment and change away from the unsightly baggie.

Jeffrey, This would upset me more than anything. If they couldn't get the label right, I can't imagine how I would trust their grading. I hope they corrected it for you. It's a beautiful piece. |

My answer all day long. And wait!--it only took one second to complete the process and cost you a few cents for the top loader. And look at all that money and aggravation that was saved.

I agree with you guys that it is, after all, just cardboard and a hobby to avoid the distractions of a pretty scary world.
I was fishing to see if I was missing something with their verdict on the T204 and to give a heads-up to anyone who may be thinking of submitting a blank-backed card to SGC. Full disclosure: they agreed to crack the card for me if I sent it back and agreed to a refund for the grading. They also agreed with the idea of being more explicit about what they do and do not grade on their website, as other TPGs have done. Hopefully, this will save others some trouble. |

I will say the policy on cards with tabs is understandably different than that of a skinned card. One has a portion that was intended to be removed, whether it's a Red Man or a NY Journal American or a Zeenut, the tab was supposed to be cut off. That's why there's a nice premium for a complete version but a tab removed is still legit.
