Sports Collectors Digest Grading Question

[39special]

The other day I picked up some cards,one was a modern card graded by
Sports Collectors Digest.I didn't know they graded cards.I was wondering if they still graded cards? Also how accurate are they?Does anyone have any info on them? Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that SCD hasn't graded cards for quite some time (several years) but when they did, they were pretty accurate.

Thanks Patrick! I never knew they graded cards.

You have to be careful to differentiate between the "original" SCD graded cards, which have the real SCD logo in a red oval, and the "second generation" slabs which have the logo in blue on silver. The second generation slabs were made after SCD sold out of its grading division, probably close to 10 years ago.

The original (red logo) SCD graded cards very conservatively and most will cross to modern PSA or SGC slabs . . . if you crack them out before submitting.

Thanks Bob!This one has the red oval.On the back it has 3 catagories on the left top:centering,corners/edges,surface with the numbers behind them.Is the "second generation" still grading?
