Look at a few 86 Jordans for example.

Well sure Beckett 9.5s explicitly have different subgrades so sure you can get ones with better surface, centering, corners, etc. PSA 10s should have less variance but yes I have seen that as well. But as you know we don't need a purple sticker to tell us a card is centered.

Right , I don’t think a 10 can get a purple sticker. If it does then I would also question the grading company. Your telling me this card that is graded ABOVE MINT condition can be better then other 10s? I feel like I’m studying string theory. I get it but is it really possible?

I think we're in agreement Peter. I dont need a purple sticker to tell me a card looks better than its grade either. But to discount this company simply because they put a sticker on a bgs 9.5 or psa 10 card would be a mistake in my opinion. There are plenty of other reasons to do so.

+1 Believe me, I told them they would need more than a lot of luck, maybe a miracle? LOL Stranger things have happened and my guess is CAC got the same treatment when they started. I am with the rest of the board on this one though and only playing some devil's advocate for conversation.

ps...they will need to tighten up their standards at the very least, from some things I (and others) have seen.
