Our First SGC Submittal Blind Reveal - 20 Total Baseball Cards, Basketball Cards and Football Cards

We finally got our first submittal back from SGC. Check out our new tuxedo slabs. Sent a total of 20 cards in through our local card shop. These are just some of our PC cards we wanted to get graded. Not trying to flip for money and no expectations. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Nice reveal guys. Nice 9 on the Ozzie and McHale. Thanks for posting.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Jay!!! We were happy with those two for sure.

[@utknoxfan2490]

I really like the graphics showing the cards value. Great reveal!!!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks UTKF!!! Hope this was interesting. It was really fun for us! 🐍

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

Really cool cards and nice grades. Hit you hard with spots on the back. Worth slabbing all of them. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Lmao I subbed on your enjoyment alone. Love the positivity. Keep on Collecting fellas!

Thanks so much LamBeau!!! We have fun even if we don’t have the best stuff.

Your style of revealing was great. Good speed. Thanks guys.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Chad!!! Appreciate you checking it out and the comment!

[@briandonnelly3968]

Looks like they were pretty fair on the grades !!! See you guys Sunday night.

[@COGSportsCards]

Yeah Brian, I think they were pretty fair. Would like to have had the sub grades like HGA so we could tell a little better what brought them down or up.

[@JoeMapes]

I like the fact that once they get slabbed they're better protected. That 59 Duke Snider was beautiful!!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Joe!!! We love that Duke too. I would really like to see the sub grades on it to see what brought it down so much. Maybe should have sent it to HGA but it looks really good in the SGC slab.

[@junkwaxlifehacks7972]

I love these reveal videos.

Those black slabs are awesome. Great reveal video. Ended strong. Congrats guys.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much JP!!! This was really fun. Only thing I don’t like is that SGC doesn’t show the sub grades like HGA does. Can’t tell what brings them up or down.

Sounds like me when I got my psa order back and my cards where in better condition ,I send to CSG now I'm very happy with csg

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks for checking out the video and the comment bobo. We haven't tried CSG yet. They look like a good option. Sending everything to HGA at the moment. I with CSG didn't require a membership and charge extra for sub grades. That just makes us even less likely to use them.

[@roywilkins4196]

Nice Bird and I still like the Murray.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Roy!!! We still like the Murray too. It was fun to get these slabbed and see what they graded. Just wish they had the sub grades on them like HGA does. I was very happy with the Bird and McHale!

[@jeffblack8077]

Man, I've heard good things about SGC, but they were a little harsh on some of those grades.. nice cards though,love the tuxedo look.👍

[@COGSportsCards]

Yeah Jeff, some of them were good and some a little confusing to us. Wish they had the sub grades like HGA does.

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

It is hard to tell on the video, but some of those look far better than the grade. I love that 86 Fleer Basketball cards. Nice hit on the 85 Topps McGWIRE. The Miller seems much better than a 5.5. Will be nice additions to the PC.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much TJ!!! I think a few of them should have graded a bit higher. Wish they had sub grades on them. That’s one major reason I like HGA better. Overall we are happy though.🐍

[@PickerJimS]

Beautiful cards and some nice grades. Love the 86 Bird and McHale! I always enjoy the blind reveal videos!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much Jim!!!! This was really fun. I love the bird and mchale cards too. Pulled them when I was a kid and had them in my box the whole time. I was happy to get such good grades on them.🐍

[@JunkWaxHero]

The Bird and McHale are sweet!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much JWH!!!

[@storageprospector6468]

I'm up to 56 graded cards with 12 out now. All stuff matters but centering is huge with SGC. All your cards that were 6 and under out of what I seen were 2 way off center front and back.

[@COGSportsCards]

Nice SP!!!! Sounds like your PC is taking off. We understand about the centering with SGC. I think they were fair and like the slabs. We just aren't experienced enough to be able to tell the difference between a 6 and 4 for centering. That's why we like the sub grades that HGA puts on their labels. Thanks so much for watching and the comment.

[@TalkingBallCards]

Nice return guys! Fun seeing the vintage cards come back

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much TBC. We have so many more cards out waiting to be graded. Can't wait to get them back. Especially the vintage ones. Appreciate you checking it out and the comment.

[@tbm9160]

Just found your channel and I liked & subbed. Nice reveal. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much T BM!!! We have lots more cards out for grading. Can’t wait to get them back.

[@jeffmooney3991]

I prefer SGC much nicer looking slabs, and the best bang for your buck

[@COGSportsCards]

I like SGC slabs too but really like the options for labels on HGA plus the sub grades. SGC slabs do frame the cards very well though.

[@thatdudemike2531]

I prefer SGC to PSA they seem to be far more consistent with their grades.

[@COGSportsCards]

I agree Mike!!! SGC is our favorite between the big three. SGC, Beckett and then PSA. HGA is our favorite for lower prices grades. Love their custom labels and sub grades. But SGC is our preferred for higher priced grading.

[@kfiscal01]

There is a company that can remove wax stains, gum, etc.... that's completely undetectable. I think it costs 30 bucks a card.

[@jimreed2138]

Nice video

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks for checking it out Jim!!! Appreciate it.

[@wesleyhodge9457]

Just came across your channel and subscribed, really cool reveal. I have a lot of these exact same cards raw at the time, you may have inspired me to submit them to SGC - at least the ‘84 Marino and Elway that is!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much WH!!! We really enjoyed the process of grading these cards. Fun to see what they get. Only thing I don't like about SGC is they don't have sub grades so if you get a low grade there is no way to confirm why. Plus we had to submit through our local card shop in a bulk submittal. HGA is easier and has sub grades so we are trying them more often at the moment.

[@wesleyhodge9457]

@@COGSportsCards I agree with your comment about SGC and the only downside being no sub grades; I love everything else about them, the tuxedo slabs look great and really present the card well for both vintage and modern cards. I’ve now sent 11 orders since May totaling 81 cards and they have two more of my orders now, have submitted them all on my own - the site is pretty easy to use, only trouble I have is with an ultra modern card that’s never been graded. But, I learned a trick with that after my first couple of submissions. Overall I would have to say they are much more accurate on grades and don’t just hand out 10s on cards; I’ve received 5 out of 81 cards that I’ve gotten back so far and have 21 cards there now.

[@Latinochino]

Great subs like always. *)'s cards are tough grades since centering is a big deal with these cards.

[@justinszabo5205]

Hi There, First vid i've seen of yours. Great video, lots of fun. SGC are pretty fair and consistent graders in my opinion and the case looks very nice with the cards you selected.

[@COGSportsCards]

Hey Justin, thanks for watching and commenting!!! I agree SGC seems to be fair and consistent. I just wish they had sub grades on there labels. Overall satisfied with these.

Nice. A bunch of 8's+ and a handful of 9s, nothing wrong with that. I'm shocked they still graded the Murray RC. I just don't have the patience or courage to send any cards through the mail for grading (plus I need more money). See you guys next time.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Robert! Yeah, it is definitely nerve racking to send your cards through the mail. You just have to make sure you get insurance on the package for peace of mind. Overall we were satisfied with these.

[@JohnnyBoy42158]

I like these,! Is Beckett in same boat as PSA? Ive heard under staffed for both. Ive gotten a few graded via Beckett, not bad.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Johnny!!! This was really fun. I think it took about two months to get them back. I just wish SGC showed the sub grades like HGA does. It would help to know why a free of them got the grades they did. Overall happy with them though.

Awesome video fellas! SGC seemed a little harsh on a couple of those grades but regardless they all sweet cards!

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much JP!!! I think a couple could have gotten a little better grades but overall happy with the submittal. Really wish they would provide the sub grades like HGA does. Most of our future submittals with be with HGA so we know a little more about why they graded what they did. 🐍

[@jamesc9897]

Sgc does a great job to me. I have noticed if you ship an sgc card through the mail you got to wrap it up good and pack it well. Cause they seem to break easier than psa cards do.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks for the heads up James. We like SGC too but like having the sub grades and custom labels from HGA. Using them mostly at the moment.

[@TheBigToe69]

I love SGC and prefer them over PSA however they are notorious for being hard on vintage cards. Those tuxedo slabs sure do look good though.

[@COGSportsCards]

Agree JSBS!!! We have really enjoyed dealing with SGC lately. Love their service and the tuxedo. Just wish they provided sub grades and maybe added something to their labels to make them pop a bit. We do not like PSA that much either. Service and grading are not the best plus their slabs might be our least favorite.

[@WesMoran]

I’m newly back into cards and just found your channel a week ago, but I was really hoping when you pulled out that 5.5 Reggie Miller, you were gonna say their grading scale stopped at 6.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much for checking us out Wes!!! I wish that was the case on the Reggie but we knew it had issues.

[@alexerhardt1947]

Awesome grades out of universal treasures repacks...what does sgc charge per card

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Alex!!! I think they charge $30 per card for a bulk submission and we had to pay $40 each for our local card shop to send them for us. We can send directly to HGA for a low as $20/card though.

[@timothybenton2070]

Awesome! How much was it to send them in

[@COGSportsCards]

Hey Tim, SGC's standard turnaround fee is $30/card. If your card is worth more than $1500 you have to pay more.

[@paulmartin7892]

Cool fellas. A bit harsh on the grades. That Mark McGwire was a good looking card. Which grader did you guys like more SGC or GMA? I am about to send a batch to GMA myself.

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks Paul!!! This was fun. We have never used GMA so I can’t really comment. Our favorite is HGA right now. We have several more cards out for grading with them. We like that they have the options for labels and sub grades on them. Sub grades make a big difference when you aren’t sure why a card graded bad.

Thanks Nick!!! I think these were actually gum stains as much as wax on the cards. We knew those were going to get hit pretty hard when we sent them in. It was a while before we got them back so we didn't exactly remember what each card was like for the reveal.

[@rufuswarriner2768]

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks for checking it out Rufus. We knew what we had. Not worried about trying to flip anything so we were happy with most of these. SGC is pretty tough and doesn't give sub grades so that's the only bad thing.

[@michaelw81]

did they lose money on every single card or what?

[@richardbianco9674]

Yep lol

[@COGSportsCards]

Yeah if we were only flipping then we would be losing money. It's not about that for us thank goodness.

[@COGSportsCards]

Yeah Richard, we aren't trying to make money on our cards. Just enjoying the hobby. Thanks for stopping by.

[@richardbianco9674]

@@COGSportsCards then there are slabs that you can purchase yourself for that. Sending in for grading is for the purposes of reselling in the future. If you truly were just doing that, there are also several companies much cheaper than 40 bucks a card. You also showed psa pricing in the corner. Which meant value was also trying to be shown. Although sgc doesn't bring in near the value as psa in those cards. With a few exceptions. Cgc or HGA would of been half that price if you just wanted slabs.

[@COGSportsCards]

@@richardbianco9674 Yeah Richard, we are using HGA for most of our cards from now on. Like the label options and that they provide sub grades. $40 through SGC is a bit expensive for us but still not too bad. Not a fan of CGA slabs. Showing the PSA SMR price guide value is just a reference for everyone to see when the video is posted. Thank again for the comments.

[@mattrosich]

The best part about Beckett is they tell u why u got the grade. I would love to know why these cards got such shitty grades. Unfair and a waste of money. I’m sorry u guys had such a bad experience with sgc. And at what 25/30 dollars a card? I can see like $8 per card. But that’s so much money for such crap grades. I would like an explanation if I were u guys. Like the video tho. Thank you for posting it. Only love for u guys. SGC was whack on them grades. Plus SGC doesn’t soft sleeve the card first like Beckett and PSA do. Way overpriced

[@COGSportsCards]

Yeah Matt, I agree. We do like Beckett and HGA for those reasons. I know some aren't big on HGA but we are using them pretty much exclusively at the moment. I don't understand why you don't get a report with every car these companies grade. SGC and PSA are just basically saying 'here, deal with it.' We paid $40/card total for these. Overall I guess we were satisfied but some of them are a bit confusing. Appreciate you watching and the comment!!! Snake

[@tdsportscards429]

Nice reveal guys. The cards look pretty good in the slabs. Seems like they were tough on some of these. Hard to tell on video though. Ive seen SGC cards at shows that look better than the grade, so they may be tough in general. Thank you for sharing

[@COGSportsCards]

Thanks so much David!!! I think a few of them could have been better. This was really fun for us though. I really wish they had the sub grades like HGA does. We will probably be using HGA from now on. Really wish that Duke would have graded better cause it looks great in the SGC slab I think.🐍

[@tdfowler79]

I think SGC is a little tough on the grading. I’ve been buying a few SGC slabbed cards lately and each one I’ve gotten looks a little better than the grade when comparing them to PSA cards. As a buyer, I love it because it feels like I’m getting the cards at a little bit of a discount. Plus the slabs look great.

[@COGSportsCards]

@@tdfowler79 Yeah as a buyer its nice. I think SGC and CGS are in that boat. HGA seams to be holding value pretty well so far. You have to remember PSA 10's are basically a 9.5 in others though.
