Addie Joss T206 SBC card

[Luke]

Did you really think his last name was Ross? I would just assume typo normally but the R and J keys are pretty far away.

Heaven to Betsy, I believe he did!

Maybe he just came from a Japanese class.

It’s Ross in the title of the thread too.

Maybe his favorite character on “Friends” is Joss?

Anybody want to guess what the grade would be if an attempt was made to cross it over with SGC or PSA?

Or he may have just watched True Grit, and confused Addie Joss with Mattie Ross.

Or maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention to what I was typing on my phone sitting on a train.

Looks like more people commented about my typo on his name than on the substance of my post. Tells you pretty much everything you need to know about social media and internet communications. Never EVER let an opportunity to pass buy without trying to making a person feel stupid. No matter how minor the point is. That's the best feeling of all.

Okay...
I recall SBC being set up at either the Aneheim, Arlington or Atlanta National way back in the very early 1990's. It was a couple collectors (Kevin Strauss {not Struss} maybe?) that were trying to start a standardised grading system and make it into a business. You would occaisionally see nicer looking cards in their holders for well above market value at shows during that time but the idea of paid grading wasn't well received until later in the decade when the registry gimmick was implemented and the PSA dick swingers found their outlet. That card is nice but it has the flat/washed out 350 series print quality. Find an image of what a nice clean 150 series back looks like and compare. Was that helpful?

I think we were just having a bit of fun; no malice was intended. We've all had typos like that.

Regarding SBC: I remember having three or so Pre-WWII cards from them way back when.....

I sent them in for crossover at PSA, and they all crossed at the same grade.

Like Steve said, no harm intended. I just know more about Betsy Ross and her flag making tendencies than I do about that old SBC graded card company (though I have seen those labels before).

Really Steve, you were on the train... does that mean the only time you want to spend anytime posting to the rest of us is when you're on a train, when you're bored, with nothing better to do?

Well, I figured you know the difference between Addie Ross and Joss... At least you didn't type Attie Ross. Saul Goodman!

For the record, I'd take either pitcher and if anybody is looking for vintage cards of those two without breaking the bank, try the 1940 Play Ball cards. Yeah, it's past their playing days, but the cards are still over 80 years old.

EDITED TO ADD - Any guesses on what the crossover would be for that T206 Johnson (assuming PSA or SGC)?

[Fred]

Is anybody still watching this card?

Does anybody think that this card can get a cross-over to PSA or SGC or CGC? If so, what's the prediction for cross-over?

Ask the consigner who tried and failed!
