Greg Morris Overgrading

All opinions.

What did you think of the card? Did you think it was NM-MT as well, and is that why you sent it in to SGC?

[butchie_t]

Calculated risk and it did not pan out.

At least they didn't give it a 2.5!

Clearly you and the grader at Greg Morris must have missed a small wrinkle.

[oldjudge]

I bet Greg’s grade is closer to reality than SGCs.

[CardPadre]

That stinks, but maybe there's a gold sticker in your card's future.

Greg is very sensitive about his grading. Several years ago, I made a very mild
comment about one card I thought was a bit overgraded. Since then I have been banned from bidding on his site, which is a shame because I think he runs a clean operation and brings some nice raw cards to the market. I hope one day he will reinstate me.

[ALBB]

How dare you question him !!

[BRoberts]

Let's hope FedEx doesn't ban you.

It happens. As posted some time ago, I had a gorgeous card that SGC weirdly graded a 4, resubmitted to PSA and it received a 9.

Why bother to give him any further business if he's been a jerk to you? There are countless other dealers running clean operations who bring some nice raw cards to the market.

Incidentally, does Greg Morris post here? I wonder what his take here would be?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Have you contacted Greg? Would seem an appropriate thing to do before complaining about his grading.

Probably because I had some great, profitable deals with him before I was shown the door. And I wouldn't call Greg a jerk, just sensitive about his grading.

Yes. And nothing but opinions. Not that it's at all rare for dealers to overgrade what they're selling anyway.

Precisely. Your opinion of your own cards is the only one that should count to you.

Indeed! Why did you need SGC's opinion? In fact why did you pay money you could have spent elsewhere for their opinion?
