SGC will now slab Rebacked N172 Old Judge Cards.

The scans are different too. The first auction looked a little strange with the greenish tint.

They are. The hue of the scans are different (could be due to the plastic reflection, or the automatic adjustment for black with the SGC case, or a new scanner. I am not blaming the auction house). All the flaws are the exact same.

Don't see a rebacked designation on the Kelly. I think its wierd that if a rebacked card was scarce that it could be encapsulated Authentic. And now only Old Judges that are rebacked are encapsulated. Alot of picking and choosing, not sure I like where grading has gone.

1) The Kelly has seemed to slip through at SGC as they said that wasn't normal at the time and was done prior to SGC saying they would start doing it, and when they are doing it from here on it will be designated as such.

2)It isn't only Old Judges that will get encapsulated from the SGC email "we will restrict the new policy to N172�s and similar issues with blank cardboard backs" so it sounds like they just don't want people taking a DRUM back and putting it on a non DRUM player in t206 sets and it getting encapsulated, but in cases where the backing won't be used to add rarity value. There is no reason a Old Judge rebacking shouldn't be treated similar to trimming. They both could have been used to make the card look better, but they could have also been used for other reasons (trimming to fit in a binder page, rebacking to stabilize the back of a picture that lost its backing).

Or how about rebacking to add value.

That is what I was meaning by saying make the card "look better". Trimming has been done for malicious and innocent reasons just as rebacking has been, yet trimming (and other alterations such as recoloring) have been getting A slabs for a while. So why would rebacking not?

It just seems that the reason of sending a card to get authenticated has lost its purpose. Saying its authentic but its trimmed, this card is authentic but recolored, and now this card is authentic but rebacked. But only if you use certain paper to reback or if its a poor reback job then now we wont authenticate it. Give me a break. I understand sending a card in to find out if it has alterations or even what the grade is. But sending in a rebacked card seems like a stretch.
