I want to have this mantle glove tag graded but can't

Thank You group for the info, I'm stuck in a rut, no slabbing at this point and not sure to proclaim as an little investment for years to come.

They are definitely real, these pieces are almost definitely fantasy. However the Hartland tag reprints tend to be rather good, i do not think there is a Hartland tag expert at any of the grading services, and i don't think the demand for tag grading is enough to hire one. So I think they are smart to turn something down rather than just grade it on a whim.

I appreciate the info, I wish there was a 100% way to eliminate the fantasy vs real card scenerio everytime we or they look at a card, I've been burned on about 10 or 12 cards now Mantle + Aaron + Ruth. I wonder if there's any tools to determine that and do the grading companies use that, I saw a PSA video one time and it looked like the guy was in a dark one with a light analyzing the card, not sure if a scanner, superior black light etc, would do the trick

Thanks

Are these listed in the SCD Catalog ? I collect mostly Topps and Fleer post war but my wife has been a long time shareholder in H & B so I have put together a set of their Louisville Slugger glove cards. Those are in the Catalog. I shun graded cards so don 't know if any of them are graded .
