Awesome my friend

[@ACollectorsDream]

Great cards, congrats on the grades

[@jpcards]

Thanks for sharing. The Foxx is a real nice 1.5.

SGC doesn’t do qualifiers, so you won’t get a “miscut designation”. If miscut it will just be baked into the overall grade. Nice cards!

[@tbm9160]

Very nice reveal. SGC seems to give bumps to good eye appeal cards. They heavily favor good centering. I don't think you should send any heavily off center cards to SGC and should save them for future PSA submissions. The good condition, but off centered cards should do better with PSA. Thanks again 4 sharing.

I'm amazed that those wrinkled/creased cards are pulling anything over a 2

Again, the centering and overall can be dismissed if the overall eye appeal and presentation looks great. SGC is more about the presentation more than anything. You must not have read SGC's scale - Grade - 3 Quality - VG Description - "90/10 or better centering, corners more rounded--but not excessive, stronger creasing may exist. Poorer focus, registration, and discoloration, and staining are more noticeable.". A 4's Description - "85/15 or better centering, corners are slightly rounded with modest surface wear. Light hairline crease may show on one or both sides. A light tear or surface break may exist." and a 5 "80/20 or better centering, minor rounding or fuzzing of corners, roughness or chipping along edge (no layering), one VERY slight surface or "spider" crease may exist on one side of the card, gloss may be lost from surface with some scratching that does not detract from the aesthetics of the card."
