SGC question...

How would the guy on the phone know why your card got an A? Do they keep records of all the cards that they grade? (And if so, why not send it along with the card when they return it?) I mean, there's no way this guy remembers grading this card. He must grade a thousand cards a day. Or maybe when you spend your day peering through the glare off of Kris Bryant and Mike Trout cards you actually do remember grading a 1953 Mantle?

I'm going to assume an electronic record of some kind is kept. He described the damage like he had the card in front of him. I was also briefly placed on hold while he 'retrieved his records.'

I can also say that when I went in person the first, they had 2 of the ten I had submitted not slabbed and had a printed flip with the reason for defect (I had a 69 Topps Mantle that was trimmed and a 62 Topps that had color added. They told me it would only take a minute to slab them. Which I had them do since I like the look, though I have since upgraded.

Card grades and notes are documented and kept on record via the serial number on the flip.

Some companies like CGC (comic grading) charges extra for the grading notes like said example ^ if you want them.
