I feel this is a mistake, how do others feel? A studio proof, in this case Uhlman studio, being graded as an N173. I guess I just tripled my collection of N173s.

Unquestionably an error, and SGC needs to put a new label on it.

at one time. They should at least put N173 'Proof' or whatever terminology or Goodwin Studios Proof or something like that. There are hundreds of these out there. We don't need them out there as N173's.

This is a major screw up on SGC's part. N173s were issued by Goodwin & Co., studio proofs were not. They should simply be labeled as to the issuer and with the player identified.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will be in touch with Legendary today so that we can get this corrected.

I blame PSA.

This is also a reflection on Legendary as they too misidentify the cabinet

yes, there is a big difference it should be corrected. These are early unique photos, maybe SGC will just have to start authenticating photos like PSA?

"I blame PSA."

Trouble maker.

What's wrong with blaming PSA? I was thinking the same thing.

Me too.

I also blame the new n54 site.

I blame Scrappy Carroll.

All kidding aside, I'm glad to hear both SGC and Legendary Auctions are taking care of the situation so quickly. It's a great looking cabinet and I hope it finds a nice new home. FWIW, some of the studio proofs do just as well as the N173 counterparts (both being rare, both being visually pleasing).
