SGC Reveal #8: 10 Cards, Mostly Vintage Baseball - Nice Results!

The reveal begins at 12:20 if you want to jump right to that. Before that I show and talk about the cards in a little more detail prior to submitting to SGC.
Turnaround time was exactly two weeks from when I dropped the cards off at the post office.
The finale is a surprisingly great T205 result. I hope you enjoy the video, and as always thanks for watching!

14:52 - looking at Hank Aaron's statistics on the back of his card. No wonder the guy is a Legend....he put-up some crazy #'s year-after- year!😳

[@ASMRPeople]

Yeah you got lucky with that t206, but it probably made up for a few card where got unlucky. It's the game of grading I suppose.

[@tmeade6465]

I just found and subscribe because you simply turn over cards showing the grade rather than putting your thumb over the grade for “drama”. Think that is silly. Maybe just me but good video and love vintage

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

I think the heritage cards are a poor recreation of the genuine Topps vintage cards

[@amcvay1979]

I"m starting to feel like SGC is a much tougher grader than PSA. Any iota of off center and they'll ding you 1 or 2 grades. PSA allows 60/40 centering to still be GM10's.

[@jpcards]

From what I've read and otherwise absorbed, I think SGC may be more consistent -- maybe that's consistently tough? Not sure, but with my experience with SGC I tend to see them kind of "reward" particularly strong centering. That might not be the best or right way to look at it, but it's just my interpretation of how they roll. Thanks for watching and commenting -- I really appreciate it.

[@MrFisherbike]

Fantastic submission. This just popped up on my feed while watching another video

[@jpcards]

Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed it. This was definitely one of my better subs.

[@cryptonite8495]

SGC must cut tobacco cards more slack. No way a 1950s or '60s card with that edge wear would have earned a 5. Maybe they should cut more slack for cards that are half a century older. At any rate, congrats on that result! I might be tempted to sell it and use part of the proceeds to acquire a 2 or a 3 with nice eye appeal ... or several.

[@jpcards]

Yeah, I'm not sure -- you might be right -- but it was a nice surprise!

[@JC-pu7gi]

Cut down your commentary you go on & on and lose my interest thanks 👍♥️⚾️

[@jpcards]

Thanks for the feedback -- I do appreciate it. And thanks for watching.

[@bobo44donemilking51]

Nice grades

[@danielbasso586]

Those 53 Bowmans are beautiful.

[@jpcards]

It's an all-time set, no doubt about it. Hoping to pick up at least a couple more in '24. Thanks for watching

[@Mrdoubtfire23]

Super

[@BaseballTimeTraveler]

Nice presentation and analysis, John. Some really great cards. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enjoyed the back stories on some of the players. Take care, Rob.

[@cardboarddreams31]

Nice cards! If you reholder the Jordan, get it regraded to see if it can get an 8.5. They didn’t do half grades back then when it was graded.

[@badgerz3804]

Congrats on the grades. I love the T205 Cycle!!!!

[@vintageonvintage817]

Great reveal John! Some really solid grades! Thought the 70 Aaron should have been a 6, still a really nice-looking card. Love the two 54's especially the Mathews. The 59 Kaline and 57 Snider are both beautiful cards and great grades. The Rosen is a really sweet card, loved hearing the Rosen story again that is such a cool story! Finally a 5 on a T205...that is awesome, what a beauty! Congrats John and thanks for sharing.

[@jpcards]

I agree about the Kaline and Snider in particular -- they look great in their tuxes. I still really like the Aaron -- it's one of my favorites of his Topps run, top 5 for sure. The T205 was a big surprise. It's hard to know to what extent it impacts value, but "on paper" it would appear to be a very nice outcome. Thanks for watching, Steve!

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Fantastic Reveal here John. All fantastic and I always love some 1954 Topps and the Braves have some nice cards and players from that year. Cool seeing a soto as well. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@jpcards]

You're right about nice Braves cards in '54, starting with Hammerin' Hank of course. I also really like the Del Crandall (card #12 I believe). Thank you for watching!

[@SouthernFriedCards]

Very nice reveal. The cards have great eye appeal. Look great in the tuxedo

[@jpcards]

Thanks so much -- glad you enjoyed the video.

[@godisgreat8462]

Another great one ☝️ 🎉

[@DoubleBarrelSportsCards]

Sweet Cards !!!!!!!!!

[@billschipper1718]

Every one of those cards would look great on my card rack. Nice collection.

[@jpcards]

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@hammerforty-four]

Great reveal. I think those grades were fair. Very nice additions.

[@jpcards]

Thanks, and overall, I think they were fair as well. SGC's consistency is definitely one of their strong points.

[@Timrh23]

Great Al Rosen story, very cool

[@snowliondragon]

Really enjoyed your video... great cards. Have a great week.

[@jpcards]

Thank you for watching -- I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@danallshaw1131]

Congrads, man. That Cycle with a 5 is a blessing.

[@jpcards]

It was a great outcome, that's for sure. And not just that, it's protected and pops in the tux.

[@doug_sports_collector]

Nice reveal!

[@ACollectorsDream]

Great cards and grades, thanks for sharing

[@jpcards]

Happy to do it -- thanks for tuning in!

[@nafex3740]

Nice one buddy 👍 🎉🎉🎉

[@jpcards]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video, and I appreciate you watching.

[@rockscousteau]

Straight Up Man. I watch a lot of card breaks and in terms of KNOWLEDGE on baseball and cards. You have one of the top channels. Never let off the gas.

[@jpcards]

Thanks so much -- I appreciate that. I just love the game and its history. And thanks for watching!

[@davidschwartz2763]

Was thinking the same thing. Once I heard the taxi story, I knew his dad got him hooked for life and he never let go. I love it. Great video.

[@robertpomerhn4570]

I like your approach. Stick with “vintage” They ironically are the FUTURE. Would love for you to possibly pursue Jim Brown and Lew Alcindor cardboard as i firmly believe their early issues are extremely underpriced
