SGC Grading Review & Reveal

[@pittsburghfan66]

Amazing cards. I like how you do the reveal where you show each card and the reveal immediately rather than doing them in group format. Eye appeal on the satchel is so good. Adding my subscription to your channel.

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you so much for the support. I always felt cheated when watching cards that people sent in because I rarely kept up with the reveals, or remembered what the submitter thought the cards may grade. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It just made sense to me to do it all in one video.

[@signsofthepastime]

Great video, James. I like the way you do your reveal. Show it raw with prediction and show it graded 👍 These cards are awesome and all beautiful to me. Nice to have a unique 53 Satchel. Good luck with the Ruth, happy to hear SGC is taking care of you.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks so much Hugo. I enjoy showing the before and after in one video. Quality over quantity I always say lol. SGC has always been great with customer support. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@bdkane721]

Beautiful Jackie!!! You da man! That Mantle still looks sweet in the tux. Great returns and love hearing your thoughts James, congrats!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks so much Saul. These submissions can be a bit nerve racking but fun nonetheless. Take care my friend 👍🏽👊🏼

[@12againsports]

Hi James, this was a great way to edit a video. I really appreciate the patience it took to video in advance, get back the graded cards, and put it all together. Nicely done. The Satchell Paige must have really got knocked down because of the back (I appreciate the explanation at the end of the video). I really appreciate you showing off cards that are not perfect. I think sometimes folks fail to appreciate the cards for what they are. Awesome video!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks so much. It does take patience lol. Waiting to finish up with the initial recording can be nerve racking lol. I do send in a little of everything, and sometimes the eye appeal for a card that is 100 years old is a big deal for me regardless of the grade. I’m glad you appreciate that also. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@unc23sports]

Epic cards! Love how you shot this video, raw with the predictions, then the unveil! I just did my first SGC submission this past weekend. Take care

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you 🙏 I always wondered why others don’t do it this way. You can guess along and see if you were correct. lol Good luck with your submission 👍🏽👊🏼

[@unc23sports]

@elitehunters732 I submitted the cards at a card show. I wanted to film the drop-off and then show the results, but SGC grounded me at the start and wouldn't allow me to film the process. I like the way you did it 👏

[@elitehunters732]

@unc23sports Thanks again. Cant wait to see how it turns out. 👍🏽

[@dk_kardboard]

I really enjoyed this, James. Some monster cards here! Wow! I remember discussing with you that Mel Ott. Great to get that puppy graded. Hope all is well with you, my friend.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Doug. I remember too, didn’t think it would come so low but I’m ok with it. It’s still a good card 👍🏽

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Some fantasitc cards James. Really like the 53 Paige and crazy Mickey Mantle RC. All awesome and thanks for sharing with us.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Steve, I’m glad you enjoyed the video my friend. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@vintagesanctuary]

James, awesome reveal of some wonderful dream cards, such as your '53 Topps Jackie! Hope all is well! 😊👊

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks so much Adam. I’m sure you’ll end up with a sweet 53 Jackie. Just sell a coin and it’s yours lol 😂 👍🏽

[@swingawaysportscards5737]

Those were some banger submissions! Love the Mays. I've been eye balling that one. SGC always seems to be quick on the Authentic with vintage cards. Looking forward to seeing the outcome on the Ruth card. Take care brother 👊⚾

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Clint, that Mays might be my favorite of all his cards. Between that and the 52 Bowman. I think SGC did what they usually do with the Paige card, I was oblivious to how wrong backs were handled lol 😂 🤪👍🏽👊🏼 take care my friend

[@3D80sKid]

Those are some spectacular cards James! Good luck on the Ruth card. Thanks for sharing

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks John, to be continued I guess with the Ruth lol … thanks for watching 👍🏽👊🏼

[@JoeWoodCollector-Doug]

Very nice reveal James , they look at home in their new Tux.

[@elitehunters732]

Home Sweet Home for my cards now lol 😂 👍🏽👊🏼

[@johnhammersmith8487]

I like your presentation style/format of your video. Thanks for sharing!

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you so much 🙏 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for checking it out.

[@davidm686]

Good Lord man what a group of cards. I stopped the video on the first freaking one to hit up eBay. That Jack Johnson is so great and the GCA and the Satchel and Williams and Willie and mantle…all unreal stuff man. That Bird/Magic rookie is a dream card. Have a great weekend my friend

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks a lot David, needless to say I spent a lot on this submission lol 😂 I hope you can find a Jack Johnson to your liking at an affordable price point. It’s a killer card for any collection. Also the Magic Bird card is another I hope you’ll eventually add to the PC. Take care my friend 👍🏽👊🏼

[@WeskerGriff]

Nice SGC submission James! I think you did pretty well.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Ed. I was happy overall with this submission. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@sebrerosfamilycardcollecti6352]

My fave was the Jackie Robinson. Vintage cards look fantastic graded. Thanks for sharing.

[@elitehunters732]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. That Jackie is well dressed card now in a tux lol 👍🏽👊🏼

[@sfisportscards8323]

Thanks for the reveal James! I did get rejected myself from SGC when I submitted a '47 Bond Bread Ted Williams even tho I've submitted that set before. It stated SGC does not grade. I guess I have to email if they grade certain sets moving forward. Good luck on the Ruth! I know that if I want to get my boxing fix that you're one of the channels to go to. Win some loss some but the cards look terrific either way.

[@elitehunters732]

Unfortunately, we will never get the inconsistencies with these grading companies. I’m ok with the grades for the most part. I haven’t submitted enough to have a firm grasp of how they operate. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching my friend. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@nita4546]

All your cards have nice eye appeal. This was a great submission James.

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you so much 🙏👊🏼👍🏽

[@ACollectorsDream]

Nice cards, the Mantle was just cut short like mine. Congratulations on your submission

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Orlando, I’m guessing this makes us brothers lol 👍🏽👊🏼

[@SammyThunder]

Great submission James. A lot of fantastic surprises like the Jackie and the Seaver. I'm glad that you at least got SGC to authenticate the Mantle, at the very least. Just a shame that they came up with the minimum size not met.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Mr. Thunder lol. I knew you’d like the Seaver. The bright side of that Mantle is the only way to look at it. It could’ve been a fake. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@criteriumracer]

Congrats on the Seaver! Wow, what a Robinson

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

[@vintageonvintage817]

Great return James, especially the Seaver and Jackie! That Satchel with the wrong back is a really cool card, wish they would have told you why they graded it authentic. Enjoyed the video, have a great weekend

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks, they explained themselves through email that wrong backs don’t receive a grade. Essentially it’s not a whole Satchel Paige card. Lol

[@Godlikecollectibles]

Those are awesome cards James, congrats!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Lou. Some cards I finally came around to slabbing lol 👍🏽👊🏼

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

Great Return. Satchel 1/1 ha ha love it. Always fun to see what they grade :)

[@elitehunters732]

Hey, owning a unique parallel before there were parallels is saying something. 👍🏽👊🏼

[@MrFisherbike]

Well there you go showing 2 of my favorite cards in the world that satch and that Teddy. I don't think you should be sad at all about the satchel page. I feel like it's a unique card to have in your collection. Good luck on the babe.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Jayson, I am happy with the results after gaining an understanding. I guess I was being delusional lol 😂 cards will do that to us sometimes. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@MrJmangini]

Those cards look so awesome raw in your hands! People don’t show just the cards anymore. Now I want to take all my cards out of holders and put them back in shoe boxes like the old days.

[@elitehunters732]

lol you must’ve cringed with every slab 😂🤣😂 I don’t know who cringed more….you with the slabs? Or Rick when he read “How much for the Ruth”? 😂🤣😂

[@in2rock275]

Don't know of any companies that remove cards from existing holders. You have to break it out yourself and just send in the card. As for the Paige, it would be hard to grade if it doesn't have the correct back, which it doesn't, so it's authentic.. They can't just overlook that. It's noted on the holder that it's a wrong back so I think authentic here was the right call. Very nice subjects overall. Can you imagine what they'd be worth if they were all 8's or 9's?

[@elitehunters732]

Goes to show you how many submissions I do lol. It’s a learning process still for me, but I’m starting to understand them more and more lately. One things for sure, SGC customer relations is stupendous 👍🏽👊🏼 thanks for watching and commenting, I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@adamscardcloset9020]

Awesome cards my friend. Wish the Satchel had gotten a grade it’s a beauty.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Adam, yes it sucks that it’s not graded, but on the bright side at least I know it’s authentic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@stuke1976]

A bunch of great cards in that return James! It's been a while since I've seen an Alan Hager ASA slab. I figured you would get authentic on Paige, I get authentic on all the proof and blank backs I send in. Me personally, the card should sell itself, might even get a higher price on the Authentic because of the wrong back rarity. Hope you get a nice grade on the Babe.

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Scott. I never saw an ASA slab. I knew they were legit but never dealt with one. The Wrong Back was also a first for me. Never knew they get Authentics but now I know. Let hope for the best with the Babe Ruth 🤞🏻 3 or better!!!! lol

[@ClementeCollector]

James, great video! Happy SGC got back to you fast! Love the Paige, if you sell the Paige, let me know what the price is. I can’t believe you have the bike spoke mantle rookie 🤯🤯🤯 Congrats man!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Theo, I’ll let you know if I decide to sell that Paige. To put a price on that card though would be tough. I believe Evil Knievel got inspired with this Mantle 😉🤪👍🏽👊🏼

[@ClementeCollector]

@@elitehunters732 lol

[@PickerJimS]

Hey brother these are all beautiful cards in any grade! Bummer about the Paige, unfortunately I think you will get the same result with PSA. Good luck with the Ruth!🤞🏻

[@elitehunters732]

Yes Jim, bummer but lesson learned. Never owned a wrong back so never knew the grading ramifications. Gotta watch your video later tonight my friend. Saw some cool looking cards in the thumbnail 👍🏽👊🏼

[@tigers727]

Great video James and great way to do a reveal. Sorry some of the cards were not as good as hoped but at least they are authentic!!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Greg, I’m ok with the submission overall. The Babe is on its way back to me after I resent it to them. They admitted they dropped the ball on the Ruth card. Time lost was all with that one. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for checking out the video. I’ve been too busy to keep up with the chat. It seems the message count goes up 200 every day lol 😂

[@-unknown7190]

Hey nice video. If you don’t mind me asking, how long was the turnaround time?

[@elitehunters732]

Thank you, the turnaround time was roughly 5-6 weeks.

[@brad8671]

Love the Reggie White!!!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Brad, I think I’ll do a football video next 😉 Stay tuned

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

WOW some biggies in there James!

[@elitehunters732]

Thanks Jake, those were a few which were a long time coming for a tuxedo fitting lol.

[@Bluejacket66]

Nice cards and you did well I think

[@elitehunters732]

Coming from you, I think I did very well. Thanks for watching Dave 👍🏽👊🏼

[@Plpr00]

Fairly certain all wrong backs can only be authentic.

[@elitehunters732]

I keep learning something new from the hobby I never knew lol. It’s all good though. I’m pleased overall with the submission 👍🏽👊🏼

[@ReindeerStudios]

I think you should be so disappointed in that Boudreau and that Satchel, that you should send them to me. 😜

[@elitehunters732]

lol 😂 🤣🤣🤣 I knew you’d try to finagle an angle. You probably own to copies of each of those. Thanks for watching Scott.

[@mookiechillson]

James, these cards are en fuego!!! I can’t wait to see how they grade Ruth after all that. That Jack Johnson was beautiful!!! So much fire.

[@elitehunters732]

@mookiechillson Thanks, I guess I’ll need to call the bomberos lol

[@Kaneda383]

You could of just used Kurts Scam Kit... I mean Kurts Card Care Kit to remove the stains.

[@elitehunters732]

😂🤣😂 I shot myself in the butt for not using the Care Kit.

[@VintageSportsCards1979]

I'd be calling Sgc on that Satchel for an explanation.

[@elitehunters732]

I reached to them and they explained a wrong back card never gets a grade other then authentic. It’s understandable when I thought about it. Thanks for watching 👍🏽👊🏼
