Default Baseball Card corruption

Posted By: Al C.risafulli

The idea that just because cards are pulled directly from cello packs they should grade high is preposterous.

You can buy a pack of cards that were printed LAST WEEK and find 6s and 7s in the pack. Color and surface are not the only attributes of a card; corners, centering, toning, print registration, edges, all play a part. Pulling 50-year-old cards out of a cello pack is an unbelievable gamble; you're just as likely to get 4s as you are to get 7s, and you're almost guaranteed not to get 9s and 10s.
