SGC Grading

Can you mix your submissions or do I have to do two separate orders?

Can ship together, just separate them in your package and print out/include each submission form

Thanks! I did my Bowman special first and couldn’t figure out how to add the others

A few returns

12/12 on my Bowman sub

I will never understand that the 2 best looking cards on here are the 2 that a lot of other collectors turn their noses up at...Lava Refractors and Bowman Heritage, man those just pop

Just got my order back in hand and the plastic feels a lot like the new PSA slabs.

Question - does SGC grade odder vintage stuff? For example, I have some vintage sports ink blotters. I know these are something that people do collect, and I think at least one that I have would look nice in a SGC holder. But I don't see anywhere on their site where they say "this is what we grade" and "this is what we don't grade".

Similarly - promotional cards that were not issued as part of a set, but that are still sports-card sized (like advertisements). I'd love to preserve them in an SGC holder, even with just an A/authentic grade. But I don't want to send them in if they're just going to get sent back to me.

Anyone have any experience with these kinds of oddball things?

Mailed off 26 cards to SGC, they arrived today via UPS. Order has 2 reholders, 2 crossovers of vintage cards then 22 raw cards to grade. Cards to grade include a little of everything, some vintage football and vintage baseball including a 1915 cracker Jack card, there's some Hulk Hogan autos, modern autos including a CJ stroud leaf proof auto and even more. Looking forward to getting this order back! I will be posting updates on it in the forum, hope to get it before the new year.

I would send them an email, they always respond within 24 hours and are very professional.

Pretty slick...got that Bowman order back today and it includes a 10% off coupon...nice gesture by SGC!

Will SGC reslab this w/o charge? Big old fat thumb print on the card that I know wast there when submitted (doubt it grades 9.5 if it was on it when I sent in)...there is a smaller print on the right border too...

How does that even happen? Don't they use gloves when they handle the cards?

I emailed them about that Ohtani and got a reply back in about 30 minutes to include it with my next order w/ a note explaining why I am sending it back and they'll re-holder it no charge. Pretty good stuff there.

Yeah, their customer service is the best in the business!

i have a buddy that wants me to list a few decent SGC graded cards all are 9.5s....I couldn't find any SGCs of the cards but many PSA 9s...would a SGC 9.5 be on par with a PSA 9 for my bin prices....these cards are mostly 90s inserts.

Went to a show today and had many conversations with both vendors and buyers about SGC being the preferable holder, and company to use for PC items you dont intend to sell. Resell is the only reason not to use SGC at this point. Best turn around, best customer service and IMO (and I know that varies from person to person) best slab in the business right now.

Some stuff just doesn't look good in the Tux but otherwise I completely agree. So frustrating waiting months and months for PSA. Always use SGC for PC stuff when I can

SGC is defintely a good option for PC, but as stated, because ROI is important, it is tough not to use PSA. I just got an order back and the 4 Wemby’s I got back brought bay the grading fees for the 10 card submission, with the 2 SCG Rutschman 10’s getting $50 total. One did not get a bid, relisted the holiday variation for Gunnar. The other 3 were simply throw in cards. I would definitely not recommend auctions on ultra modern, even 10’s might only get you minimal profits they are fast, with good CS, their plastic feels a lot like the new PSA slabs. I still prefer CGC for my PC because their price and turnaround is less than a month and their slabs crystal clear.

Resell and the jagged black insert.

I just wish they would update their slab. They feel cheap and are too bulky compared to everyone else.

I think PSA 9 and SGC 9.5 should comp similarly. Especially if you are selling fixed price, I think you should have decent luck getting a full PSA 9 comp. May take a little longer. But maybe not, if it's a card you don't see a ton of.

I can live with the resale but the jagged insert touching the cards bugs me on anything but vintage, so I send elsewhere.

I haven't used sgc in about a year (been sending to PSA). I decided to send in some PC cards that I thought would look good in the tux. I also thought sgc would grade higher and I was absolutely correct. Except for the Gilded I think every card got at least a half point better with sgc. So happy with the results, the way the cards look, and it was a nice reminder of how smooth the process is with SGC

100% this. If the SGC slabs were the same horizontal and vertical dimensions of a CGC slab, I could see using them for all kinds of PC stuff. But as is, the SGC slabs are pointlessly oversized and fit tightly in pretty much anything designed hold slabs, and it's obnoxious to me.
