could be one of the biggest aution "ripoffs" in history

Maybe SGC can reply, but the SGC 96 listed on EBAY is an old SGC flip, which I believe means it was graded when Joe Merkel was in charge.

It is my understanding that the SGC of today may not cross old SGC graded cards into their current holders in the same grade or may not grade them at all.

Based on who sold the old SGC 96, I would suspect this card will not or would in the past cross over in a high grade or at all.

Are the old SGC grades included in their pop report, even though they apparently don't stand behind those grades (for good reason, given many cards I have seen where the centering was just not consistent with the grade)?

Geez, I can think of how many pre-war caramel cards I could buy for that.

That sort of attitude will not get you an invite to any important meetings in Baltimore next week.

Is this really the case? And how "old" must a card be to be considered "old" ?
