1,000 posts later they couldn't decide on a date and time for dinner. You think they'd agree on a flip?

Just got one of my cards back today from SGC off the three day sub. It has the old style Flip which I like very much.

I love this set too. This card was pretty tough to get in a good grade and unmarked. Picked this one up raw on ebay and submitted immediately to SGC.

First of all, there does seem to be a consensus on a flip here, but there's even more of a consensus on the fact that the current one is no good.
Second, if you want inane, compare your reference to a thread some years ago, among collectors of all types including Barry Sloate, who as I recall has little to no direct interest in graded cards, about the logistics of when and where to meet for dinner in NYC to this one about the manner in which a grading company conducts its business. That is inane. We get your point, as inartfully and repetitively as it has been made. Feel free to keep poking-- I don't give twodeuces.

Don't tell me the flips don't matter. If that was true, then GAI, CSA, and PRO would all be selling for big money! After all, it is not about the flip, it is about the card! You can look at the card and see how good it is!
Everyone knows that is not true however. GAI cards sell for crap. Even SGC cards don't sell nowhere near the PSA equivalent for certain cards. And yes....if a label looks like one of those fly by night graders that I used to laugh about when I first entered this hobby years ago, then it is going to be perceived as being inferior. That is why some neighborhoods have homeowner's associations - to prevent the neighbor from painting his house polka dot and looking all crazy. |
