August Pickups - Sultry Summer Scores?

I usually prefer PSA for graded cards, but 1973 is not a registry set for me, as many of my nicest cards are raw. So nothing wrong with an SGC slab when the card is this beautiful….as long as I make sure to keep it in a separate stack. 😂

    Nice Stretch!

    How do cert numbers work with SGC? Both the McCovey and Bell were graded in the past few months, but have wildly different certs.

    No idea about the cert #s. How can you tell when they were graded?

    SGC’s cert lookup page has the grading date included.

    Found this on Facebook:

    I have wondered why SGC doesn't have cert #'s that run continuously upwards as submissions come in similar to PSA. Well, I finally reached out to SGC for the answer to the question.
    ——————
    The answer that was provided by Brent Martin (SGC): The computer generates a cert # that assigns them at random. The logic behind it is added security to prevent forging new labels and copying.

    And no, they cannot manually input a cert # that is vacant currently. It must remain computer generated at random.

    Keith…

    Nice eye appeal on Koufax and Bench RCs!

    The Koufax definitely presents better than most 6s I’ve seen of that card, including my own. I agree with the grader who argued the Bench was a 7 and I don’t think anyone would draw blood over the minor corner wear if it was in an 8 holder. Lots of under-graded gems out there.

    the 1956 mantle and 1960 mantle psa 4's are off the chart. Of course the 1956 psa 8 -- says it all.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!
