I was selling 6 older SGC cards graded by Joe Merkle or SBC cards recently and a dealer told me I would need to resubmit them to get them regraded as there would not be that demand for old SGC slabs.

Four graded the same, a 1960 Topps Mantle was marked down to a SGC 84 from a SGC 92, and they would not grade the SGC 88 T206 Evers portrait I gave them as it was trimmed. I said I understood and I would take it back. They then offered me $2,500 to take it out of circulation. I was stunned that they would do this as it was graded by a different regime. Naturally, I accepted.

Hats off to Dave Forman who is building this company based on quality and who went beyond what was expected
in doing the right thing.
