SGC/JSA slabs now come with advertisements INSIDE the slab...

Raymond · July 11, 2006 12:47PM

Found this on the backside of my new Jackie Robinson slabbed auto.

I am completely speechless...

baseballfanatic · July 11, 2006 12:50PM

OUCH!

Stone193 · July 11, 2006 1:00PM

I think I just got transported to a parallel universe!

Is this for real?

Bosox1976 · July 11, 2006 1:03PM

Unacceptable!

pandrews · July 11, 2006 1:08PM

yes its ridiculous.. in SGC's defense though, this "cdifl" guy sells a TON of autographs, ive bought a few from him.. i think i even have one with his business card in it..

i guess it's his way of advertising..

i have no idea where the dude obtained all his autographs, all i know is he has a ton, and he's sold a ton in the last coulpe years.. many on index cards, etc..

the first thing i wonder is how he got jackie robinsons autograph on his business card, seeing as how jackie died in the early 70's..

but i think "cdifl" might slap his advertisement stickers on the backs of these cards, then submit to SGC/JSA..

baseballfanatic · July 11, 2006 1:08PM

The only way I would accept that is if Jackie himself signed Ralphs business card. That is total BS.....

Ironmanfan · July 11, 2006 1:10PM

Is it me or does that Business Card look O/C?

Raymond · July 11, 2006 1:12PM

To clarify.

There are 2 cards in the slab. The front one has the Jackie Robinson auto. The back one is the business card. They do not appear to be taped together.

tkd7 · July 11, 2006 1:14PM

the dealer should pay to have it re-slabbed

pandrews · July 11, 2006 1:18PM

well, perhaps southerncards can explain it to us..

iamthegreatcornholio · July 11, 2006 1:22PM

<< well, perhaps southerncards can explain it to us.. >>

is there a scan of the back of the slab in the auction?

baseballfanatic · July 11, 2006 1:29PM

Its bad enough to have to sit through commercials every time you watch a movie or video, but to include this IN with a card, taped, loose or otherwise is ridiculous. I'd rather have the PSA incapsulated pube than this.....

phreakydancin · July 11, 2006 1:47PM

<< I am completely speechless... >>

Me too. The centering's horrible!

NewJerseyMeatHook · July 11, 2006 1:50PM

Horrible logo, Ralph.

Griffins · July 11, 2006 2:04PM

I was pretty po'd when I got some GAI graded packs with a Mr Mint commercial on the back of the flip, the "Mr.X" garbage on PSA's T206's was awful, but this is much worse. I'd be tempted to neg the seller if it wasn't disclosed. I"ll definitely neg JSA/SGC for this.
Horrible.

Fabfrank · July 11, 2006 9:24PM

Wow. I like SGC cards, but I don't like this.

RichG · July 11, 2006 10:58PM

If JSA is going to allow something as tasteless as that, I'm going to stick with PSA/DNA exclusively. I would be all over JSA and the seller if I received that item!!!!

absurd

Looks like PSA does it too...

duner · July 11, 2006 11:14PM

That can just as easily happen in a psa holder, instead of knuckles putting stats on the back of his cards...he could just as easily include information about his adult entertainment business that he runs on the side.

RichG · July 11, 2006 11:21PM

I probably have over 150 slabbed psa/dna items, and thank god, non of mine contain a tasteless advertisement. Does the psa/dna example you talk of contain an advertisement from the same seller? If so, I guess the simple solution is never buy from that ebayer (I know I have in the past, so I must have been lucky)

Jmnesq · July 11, 2006 11:37PM

That is what you get when you do not go with PSA.

Raymond · July 11, 2006 11:42PM

Hello Jeff. How have you been?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · July 11, 2006 11:58PM

Thats wrong.

Jmnesq · July 12, 2006 12:02AM

My IQ has gone up about 20 points now that I no longer associate with 14 year olds. Thanks for that, I really do appreciate it.

RichG · July 12, 2006 12:07AM

Jeff:
I hear you loud and clear, and I can't agree more!
On a side note, I wonder if my buddy Lawrence is still allowed to spam the other board with his junk! It's amazing how the mods want everybody to follow their rules, but they can't even follow their own!

AFAIK, citing that example, and Raymond forwarding my emails to the moderators is what led to my removal.

I went over there at the urging of JP and I saw more locks than at a NY deli.

FYI: I was not involved with your removal and I didn't forward your e-mails to the moderators. I still do not know why you were removed. But, keep in mind, you were sending the group e-mails to a mod, so it would have been pointless for me to do that to get you in trouble since you were already doing that yourself...

scooter729 · July 12, 2006 12:38AM

I HAVE a PSA slabbed autograph from this same seller, with the same insert included in the slab. Yes, it is the same dealer's business card included inside a slabbed autograph. I don't have a picture of it here (I'm at work now), but will try and post a picture of it. I got it probably close to a year ago, so this has been going on for a little while. And it was just as ugly then as it is now....

And who was this moderator?

Dallas88 · July 12, 2006 2:41AM

Just a quick point here - it is good to see some of the older Beckett MB guys finally posting on the CU boards. I sometimes browsed the "kiddie" boards, but never posted. They have their times, but more often than not, the conversations broke down into childish temper tantrums.

I believe Rich G visited KC awhile back and had some very nice things to say about our little villa! Welcome aboard Rich. (...I hope I have the correct Rich!)

Griffins · July 12, 2006 4:14AM

I was told that the business card was attached/adherred to the autograph, and that SGC/JSA would not slab anymore like this.

RichG · July 12, 2006 5:43AM

Dal:
Thanks! Yep, I visted some time ago, and it was a blast. With regards to the other board, WAY TOO MANY kids hang around there. However, there are a handful of good people (Raymond, Glyco, Sean, POH, The Next Level, Soccer, etc..). With this said, even though I miss a few of my "hobby buddies", I don't miss the kiddie board one bit.

Griffins: I hope what you say is true, and I hope the people from PSA/DNA are taking notes.

Thank you for the invite pandrews. I dont really know what to make of it but I cant say that I really care for it either. When I have an answer, you'll be the first to know. Perhaps you could send me your home phone number and I can call you directly, since we're such good pals and all.

and as for you letting me know an "answer", well, i believe i gave the answer in the 5th post to this thread..
