A facebook page is easier...

Jim VB,

That sucks with your T3's. I like SGC but one thing I noticed is the gaskets they use are thin. Why don't they use a thicker gasket material? If a T3 can slide in between the gasket and the holder, there is obviously enough space to accomodate a thicker gasket.

Another thing I noticed about the gaskets is that after they are cut, they are pretty rough on the inner portion. Not sure if this has ever damaged a card, but you would think some improvements could be made. You can actually see some of the chipped off border on the T3 Downey.

A thicker gasket would be better for SGC.

Why would anyone put a photo in the PSA no-gasket holders? Same with PSA's card holders where the card is just floating around, its awful for the card and awful looking.

Just to reiterate what M's Fan just said: the PSA holder had no gasket - my scan did not not make that fact apparent. The sleeve is much larger than the photo, hence there was plenty of room for the photo to slip and slide and do the hootchy-koo. I realize that this problem is not limited to photos but to cards also, and not just to PSA but SGC too. I disagree about the "awful looking" part. Were the sleeve appropriately sized and the photo properly secured (and if these geniuses ever learned to spell) I think it would present quite nicely.
And, to add, the two photos were in a padded envelope tight in a box snug within a second box kinda like one of them Russian dolls. The only thing more Bill G. could have done was have it hand carried by virgins from St Louis to Honolulu. Packing was not the problem here.

Soxs?

Is this another of your wild ass rants, or is it the start of a business plan?

I think you're mistaking me with that Van Brunt fellow.

Pffffft. Bill refused to go the extra mile.

I feel your pain Jim, regarding the problem with your T3's.

The same thing happened to me with an R303-A Ted Williams. The holder wasn't properly sealed and came open during shipping, allowing the card to slide down behind the gasket.

I refuse to send it back to SGC through the mail, as I feel that would make the card susceptible to further damage. I'm still waiting to be able to have it reholdered by SGC at a show, since I'm in San Antonio TX, and SGC doesn't come to any of the shows in Texas

I just got this in the mail--It doesn't look like any damage was done to the card and I had planned on setting him loose anyways but it did make me laugh a little when I saw it.

obviously PSA has issues with everything in the holders.

It's available which is surprising since most companies buy the *sucks name just to avoid others from getting it.
