December pickup thread

I love the colors on this one, and I'm a little surprised it received a qualifier. It would have been out of my price range if it hadn't, so I'm glad it did.

Nice card Luke and I agree, definitely no need for the qualifier.

I'm planning to send some cards in to SGC some time soon. Do you think this card might grade out at a 50 without a qualifier if I tried to cross it over?

Luke:

My best guess is that SGC would grade it a 40

[Robextend]

I would guess 40 because of the staining, but I would definitely cross it over!

[Luke]

Since we're on the subject:
When you want to cross a card over to another grading company, do you send it in the other company's holder, or crack it out? If I were to send this card into SGC in the PSA slab, do you think SGC would be more likely to give it a qualifier just because PSA did?

[Robextend]

SGC doesn't give qualifiers, and I usually leave the card in the holder.

If you've cracked it out already, it can't be submitted as a crossover -- the second TPG has no proof that it's the same card that the first TPG had graded. Also, when you submit for crossover, you can specify a minimum grade that you'll accept for the crossover -- if the second TPG doesn't feel it merits that grade then they won't crack it out of the first TPG's holder. (that's for PSA at least, I haven't looked into SGC policies for crossover.)

And as someone else mentioned, SGC doesn't use qualifiers -- they just knock down the overall grade, sometimes significantly.

I recently picked up a boatload of 1933 Goudeys including #198 Irving Burns.

I have seen plenty of 33 Goudey cards that have significant bleeding through the back, but nothing like this one...is there something more to this card?

Thanks - Rob
