In my last post, I showed you how to use the PSA Pop Report. In this one, I’ll do the same with the SGC’s. Like the PSA Pop Report, SGC’s is simple and easy to use.
Start by going to sgccard.com. Follow the red arrow above. Hold you cursor over the “RESOURCES” tab and click on “POPULATION REPORTS”.
That’ll take you to the page below. Select “baseball” from the drop down menu and type “t206” into the Set Name field. For this example, I’m going to use my new George Gibson Sovereign 150, so let’s type “Gibson” into the Player Name field.
The cool thing about the SGC Pop Report tool is that you can see all of a player’s cards without having to click on a drop down menu. It’s very easy to compare scarcity between the different backs that Gibson was printed with. SGC has graded 5 Sovereign 150 Gibsons. Gibson was not printed with a Sovereign 350 back, but if he was, you would see a listing for “1910 Sovereign Cigarettes”. 1909 Sovereign is always Sovereign 150 and 1910 Sovereign is always Sovereign 350. The same rule holds true for Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, Cycle and American Beauty. A “1910” listing refers to a 350 series back, and a “1911” listing refers to a 460 back.
Typing in a few different player names and looking at the results can give you a good idea of how back distributions work. I highly recommend playing around with it if you are interested in getting into back collecting.
