  • SGC will not refund grading fees for cards that were submitted for grading but have been rejected due to any of the following: trimmed, altered, counterfeit, color added, etc.
  • Cards on regrade or reholder service: SGC has the right to reevaluate the card and assign a newly established grade if SGC believes the card was originally misgraded. If the grade change results in a loss of value of the card, SGC will compensate the customer based upon market value as solely determined by SGC.
