My Wildcard Special sub grades just popped today for a mixture of prewar stuff that I sent in. Pretty much got what I expected except for the 4 cards that I cracked from PSA holders...all 4 came back 1 to 1.5 grades lower. Can't trust the number on the red flip for nuthin! Got a few of the new half-grades too. Everything else I subbed was bought raw.

I can add scans when I get the cards back if anyone is interested.
Congrats Tom, very cool sub, love all the different types!!! Yea I take a lot of hits on crossovers too but if you like the card I always do it.
Wow, Amazing grade on the 31-32, a 60 on an old exhibit is equal to about an 88 on the 50-60's cards )) Let me know if you every want to trade it haha!
Also noticed you got 3 of the new half grades very cool!
OK...finally got the cards scanned. Here are some of the highlights. Sorry for the large scans!
My first 60 on a T206!...
Here's that 31-32 Exhibit Scott...
Another 60 for this Sporting News back too...
Here's what the new 35 graded cards look like. The 37 Exhibit has paste marks on the back, the 36 World Wide Gum has some blue fountain pen ink splotches on the back, and the T206 has a really soft lower left corner...
I just got another sub back from SGC today. It's a group of some oddball prewar issues for the 'ol type set.

I'm really happy with the grades that I got on the Hooper Die-Cut, Simmons W574, and Earnshaw R308. I was hoping to get numerical grades on the 2 Schalk strip cards, but since I checked the "A" box on the sub form for them to slab the Appling Pennant they went ahead and gave the strip cards the "A" grade too...
I'm working on getting scans of this latest poppage if anyone is interested in seeing them...
