SGC Mea Culpa

Interesting post from SGC today:

On Tuesday 1/30/24, SGC posted a 2003-04 Lebron James Exquisite Rookie Patch Auto that was recently graded a Mint 9 with a 10 auto. Shortly after posting the card, information was presented to our team alleging that the patch embedded in the card had been altered. Our team immediately began investigating and confirmed that an alteration had taken place. We acted swiftly and contacted the appropriate parties to address the situation. A satisfactory resolution was reached with the submitter of the card, and the card now resides in an Authentic Altered holder that is pictured here.

We take issues like this one extremely seriously, and take full ownership of this unacceptable error. We recognize the impact that SGC has on the trading card community, and we do not take the trust that you put in us lightly.

You all know us well enough by now to understand how much we love our supporters and the hobby as a whole. We take immense pride in what we do and no one appreciates the responsibility of safeguarding the hobby more than we do. While this will be a difficult one for our team to move past, we take solace in the fact that this card has now been assessed accurately, and will no longer mislead the collecting community.
