Case in point. My winnings from Heritage arrived this afternoon. Photo says it all. Way to go, SGC. All this new flip nonsense is just putting lipstick on a corpse.

That is really unacceptable and far from a new issue.

Great, they got pinholes in your cabinet photos. Shake them back into their gaskets and send them back.

Yeah. I'll do that. I'll shake the flip back into place too. Sending 'em from Canada; that will take a month to get there. Then wait for them to send them back. With the same useless gaskets. And then pay another 300 bucks for Canadian sales tax. Great idea.

Sorry for making light of it, David - hopefully they aren't damaged. It was great seeing you last weekend and talking cards.

No worries, kemosabe. I have been on the rag all day with other pilikia (<=Hawaiian word, means combination of trouble, worries and general overall bullshit); the Heritage package was just the kicker. The Seattle show was big fun and I enjoyed hanging out with you and Mr Cycleback.

I am disappointed.

You just wore a jersey. And a pullover at that.

Not only that - it's probably early 1930's.

John - that Buck Weaver is amazing, as always. You guys are starting to get me paranoid about the one valuable oversized item I have in an SGC slab. Fortunately it's resting flat in a safe deposit box.

David,
That's terrible. I'm so sorry. Can you tell how much damage was done to those cabinet cards from the time they were photographed for auction?

I hope SGC fixes this issue, and fast. I also hope they make restitution in your case, because that should have never happened.

I can't believe SGC hasn't resolved this issue by now.

I had the exact thing happen on the card pictured below last year. Fortunately it wasn't damaged, at least based on a detailed comparison with the auction scan. But it was pretty disconcerting when I opened the package, everything seemed to be flying all over the place.

Also happened on a less expensive card purchased earlier this year from a Board member.

When I got my first Walter Johnson portrait last year, it was out as well. Fortunately, there was no damage, and I was able to tap it back into place. But it freaked me out. My first valuable pre-war card, and it was pinned against the plastic slab.

Complete failure of a primary function of their product. I cannot imagine that any SGC executive finds this problem anything less that a huge embarrassment.
