Default Bad look for SGC
This is way too high profile a card to grade it so favorably. Its unquestionably a 3.5 by their standards. An obvious attempt to create some buzz and or do a high profile client a solid. I'm a big SGC guy and am truly disappointed.

The #1 issue is it shows that they can be dishonest. I don't know how this particular grading could not be described as an example of corruption.

Fairly certain the current owner of this card is also the owner of the recently sold Baltimore News Ruth from the last year or so.

The Wagner at the Hall of Fame is in better condition, in my opinion.

Agreed, it is really phenomenal. Whoever donated it was very generous.
And I hope they have a lot of security for it. I didn’t see anyone guarding when I was there a month ago.

I agree with what many have said already it's a great card that is at least a full grade higher than it should be.

I think the Ireland Wagner is one of the nicer examples but also possibly higher than it should be based off the corners.

With such a high profile card, even if it got stolen it would be to hot to sell or show in public.
