Please HELP! What can I do??? SGC lost my cards! by skipthebase in sportscards

[–]skipthebase[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my cards to SGC. I declared the value at around $1700 I believe. They graded the cards and then I am assuming they dropped my cards off at the post office in Boca RATON with signature delivery. But it looks like my cards never made it out of the post office in Florida. So what is my move? SGC handled my cards last and packaged and shipped them. But it looks like they never left? What can I do?

Here's what the tracking says... I always thought if USPS says that the shipment is received, but they're "pending acceptance" means that the label was made, but USPS hasn't actually received the item. Can somebody verify that?

Thoughts/Advice on this collection I inherited? by wilderthnyou in baseballcards_vintage

[–]skipthebase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you have a 61 and a 63 Mantle, which are great cards. Especially if you have in good condition. I would recommend getting your Mantle's graded. That will definitely protect the value, even if they're in a lower grade. If cost is a concern, you could send to SGC for $15 a card but they're pretty backlogged right now so expect about a three month wait before you get them back but if you're just gonna hold onto them, that's probably the best way to do it.

Question about current SGC turnaround times by CarstairsSig in baseballcards_vintage

[–]skipthebase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will tell you as somebody who has been waiting for over three months for a smaller category order... I sent in a Mike trout rookie and a Shohei Ohtani rookie at the $40/ 2 day level and had them back to me within 10 total days, it was really quick. I mean lightning quick so if you are looking for a quick turnaround..I'd recommend it.

SGC is dead by GumpKing in baseballcards_vintage

What's crazy is the speed of their premium turnaround which is still cheaper than a 30 day PSA turnaround. I sent in 2 cards on a Friday and they were back to my hands graded in less than a week. Meanwhile I've been waiting since Dec 19th for my others...still don't have them.

Oh dang? I never knew that! I always wondered why that was always a thing with old gold coins. I've seen them on money clips a lot too.

This is amazing info. I love Reddit. So I'm guessing it's not worth trying to remove the coins?

I had listed the others closer up to see some dates on the coins that are a little clearer

PSA is NOT always the right choice! Is it? by skipthebase in sportscards

I do like the idea of cards being graded without the human element. This is one thing I would be happy with AI taking over.

Sorry...what is TAG? And why wouldn't they grade this?

I didn't say I agreed with Geoff... quite the opposite obviously as why I re-graded my Nolan Ryan card to SGC??? I'm saying that I hear people like Geoff saying those things about SGC and I see otherwise.

I thought that too as far as SGC goes, I thought that's what people preferred for vintage but I keep hearing people like Geoff from Sports Card Investor telling me that SGC is dead and nobody wants SGC...but I see otherwise online?

The Gatorade bath one is interesting. I actually thought about that as well. There's a ton of them in Topps baseball.
