Agree, and I have seriously considered cracking and submitting the Colgan Chips Wagner to PSA. The only thing holding me back is... well, check out these FUGLY pics.

Unfortunately Mark, I feel the grading companies have determined they are done giving high grades on Colgan Chips. In a way, it seems like they have conspired together to hammer and undergrade vintage these days. That's just my opinion but I'm sure others will agree.

So let's see.... much steeper upcharges accompanied by much worse grades. And the sheeple continue to flock to them in record numbers. I'll take it as a sign to stick with rare memorabilia (the type that cannot be slabbed )

BTW, still no return email from anyone at SGC... 6 attempts with no reply after more than a week. Awesome customer service.

I have a 13 card Japanese baseball submission there for more than a month. Most of the cards have been graded before and all are in the guide. I was told by Brent that "Your submission has some obscure cards that require a deep dive into the research." They have no Japanese card experts so I don't know where they are diving.

I've messaged them a few times and I only get a canned response. I'm fed up with them.

I don't know exactly where they're diving either, but sure feels like it's up the creek without a paddle.

This begs the completely generalized question: Why would you utilize the services of any company who apparently lacks the expertise to handle the work you want done? I don't go to Arby's for my macrame needs.
