I remember a few years ago at the bank I work for a branch manager downstairs got busted stealing funds from an elderly clients line of credit and it was shocking. She ran out of the bank but was quickly caught and is sitting in jail. Apparently she had a gambling problem and was covering her losses with their money. <br />\n<br />\nThat said because of the nature of their business, a third party graders business model is based on objectivity and the entire thing comes crashing down if collusion exists and they know that and I feel very confident there are safe guards in place to insure this doesn\'t happen. <br />\n<br />\nThe only whiff of this I have ever read about was when the Doug Allen case busted wide open and the owner of SGC was potentially implicated.

I know people who would travel to the shows to get the bumps.  I know dealers who would personally take cards into the grading booth to argue their case.  It was common knowledge.  But as long as the grade was still within reason (and there is lots of subjectivity for tweeners), it caused no shockwaves.

I know people who would travel to the shows to get the bumps.  I know dealers who would personally take cards into the grading booth to argue their case.  It was common knowledge.  But as long as the grade was still within reason (and there is lots of subjectivity for tweeners), it caused no shockwaves.  It doesn\'t work that way now, but I am sure that being human organizations, at TPGs some submitters are more equal than others.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nLots can happen short of blatant corruption.

This is such garbage if it really happened like this.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI\'m less engaged in the "what could lead to the downfall?" argument, though I do still think a smoking gun scandal, if they\'re caught red handed could potentially hurt them irreparably.  I am still more focused on the fact a few people, making relatively little have control over millions and millions of dollars in perceived product market value.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI don\'t necessarily envision the secret garbage bags of cash to bump grades, as much as I do a couple employees (applicable to any TPG) devising a system to keep a card or cards marked upon submission, and through grading and slabbing.  Maybe it\'s 2, 3, 4 guys working together, however few could actually achieve overcoming company safeguards, but they would not need to bump more than a few cards (maybe 1 per 10,000) to make some crazy cash.  They would never really need to do it on famous, high visibility cards either.  Think Gem Mint Art Schell.. or maybe \'79 Ozzie, or a \'67 Yaz.. but given the price difference on a single point at those highest (8-10) levels is nuts.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIf it is ever doable within the TPG\'s grading SOP, a person or people making mid 5 figures, could supplement that with 5-6 figures by bumping or over grading a just handful of cards per month/quarter/year.  If done well, perhaps all messages are verbal (or via secure apps), it seems it could be really tough to detect.  If done really well, I doubt most collectors would even notice the cards once slabbed, because I think most agree many 8s could be 9s, many 9s could be 10... and given there will always be a few blatant mistakes (a 10 with a print mark, etc), these cards could stay relatively under the radar.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1668798" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1668798 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1668798_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">itjclarke</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=78877">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1668798 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1668798 -' + '->';

There\'s nothing wrong with this I suppose, so long as you take it for what it is.  Just as there is nothing wrong with something having a margin of error (as in grading and everything else), so long as you realize and take into account that there is a margin of error.  That cards are resubmitted and get different grades establishes that there is a margin of error, and/or subjectivity (I\'d pick \'and\'), in grading.<br />\n<br />\nThere\'s nothing wrong or errant with there being a margin of error.  The foolishness is when collectors valuate things as if there is no margin of error (\'Buying the label instead of the card.\')<br />\n<br />\nThe best checks and balances (or, one could say, overall grading) is when collectors consider both the professional grade and look at the card itself-' + '- which, of course, is what many collectors do.   And collectors have different tastes in what grading details/qualities are more important than others-' + '- some are OCD about centering, some forgive off centering when the image is sharp, some forgive writing on the back of an Old Judge but don\'t want a technically Near Mint N172 if the image is underdeveloped, etc.  This says that a single grading equation itself is subjective and arbitrary, and why interpretation of it involves subjectivity.  Or, with a N172 that is technically Near Mint according to the grading equation but with an image that is less than clear, grading is only part of the story.  And that\'s why a collector looks at the card itself too.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by drcy; 06-08-2017 at <span class="time">12:40 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1668839" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1668839 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1668839_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">drcy</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=321541">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1668839 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1668839 -' + '->';

That will sustain TPG through any scandal, and we can always resort to discrediting whoever is claiming a problem.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				<b>Leon Luckey<br />\r\nwww.luckeycards.com</b>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by Leon; 06-10-2017 at <span class="time">05:58 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1669758" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1669758 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1669758_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Leon</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=1">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=1" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Leon</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.luckeycards.com">Visit Leon\'s homepage!</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=1" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Leon</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1669758 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1669758 -' + '->';

No doubt. I remember a few years ago at the bank I work for a branch manager downstairs got busted stealing funds from an elderly clients line of credit and it was shocking. She ran out of the bank but was quickly caught and is sitting in jail. Apparently she had a gambling problem and was covering her losses with their money. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThat said because of the nature of their business, a third party graders business model is based on objectivity and the entire thing comes crashing down if collusion exists and they know that and I feel very confident there are safe guards in place to insure this doesn\'t happen. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe only whiff of this I have ever read about was when the Doug Allen case busted wide open and the owner of SGC was potentially implicated. Nothing ever came of it from what I have read.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n****Notice their used correctly. Haha</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Totally agree.  One of my two BST incidents involved a guy who had worked at a bank, and presume knew intimately how their deposit systems worked.  Nothing provable bit it was all very suspicious.  If it was indeed a scam, then i\'d expect it was just another example of someone who knew how things worked from the inside, and knew well how to game the system.  All ended well enough for me, in that my bank\'s fraud services eventually (1.5-2 yrs later) reimbursed my prior loss.  I presume the allaged, or whomever the scammer made out with his money, though nothing was provable.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nRe- TPG, I\'d very much hate for any of these scenarios to come true, as it would have a huge impact on my collection\'s value.  Though I don\'t really ever submit to TPGs, I (like many here) own a lot of graded stuff.  Hope that horror story never plays out.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1668734" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1668734 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1668734_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">itjclarke</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=78877">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1668734 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1668734 -' + '->';

Of course, I am not saying it happens, nor do I know their internal submission/grading SOP well enough to know how hard it would be to execute.  However, in theory, a few graders in cahoots with a few submitters could make 6, even 7 figure profits by buying and bumping 8s to 9s, 9s to 10s, etc.  At those higher levels, the increase in value is nearly exponential.  Doubt there\'s anyway a TPG could ever compensate its graders well enough to offset the  temptation of potential monies earned through a scam like this.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI\'d hope their chain of custody on any submissions (regardless of the submitters) is totally anonymous and that any card that receives a 10 would need to pass inspection by several graders, thus making this scam more difficult to execute.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by itjclarke; 06-06-2017 at <span class="time">03:16 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1668190" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1668190 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1668190_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">itjclarke</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=78877">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=78877" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by itjclarke</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1668190 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1668190 -' + '->';

I wonder what it would be like to make the grading call on a T206<br />\r\ngreen Cobby between 6.5 and 7, or a \'52 Topps Mays between 7.5 and 8, knowing full- well how much money my decisions mean.  I wonder if they feel real pressure, like I would, or is it just another day at the office?  Because they are well-known in collectors circles and have almost some kind of star quality, I have to believe they are highly compensated, with some kind of bonus scheme on top of a nice base salary.  And maybe the package would include a  free trip to the eye doctor every six months.  Love to know.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>here is PSA official documented way of handling your  Card submissions <br />\r\n<br />\r\nfrom receipt to ship  word for word <br />\r\nat least you know how they set out to provide their services <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe receiving step is one of the most crucial steps in the PSA process. This is where all packages are logged in and separated based on their service level. Once the packages have been separated, each package is opened in priority of service and the cards are counted. After verifying the service level and payment, one of the most important steps in the grading process occurs.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<b>The submissions are now assigned a generic order number, removing the identifying information from the order – thus removing the potential for bias</b>. Finally, all of the pertinent data is entered from the PSA submission form, an e-mail confirmation is sent to you and your cards are off to the next stage.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe Sticker Stage<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe next step in the PSA process is called the Sticker Stage. At this stage, the cards are counted again and labels are placed on the outside of each card saver. The label or sticker assigned to each card contains information including the order number and individual certification number – that is the same certification number that will appear on the PSA label once the card is graded.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOnce this occurs, the history of that card will be stored in our database as it travels through the process and is eventually assigned a grade. Finally, the information on the stickers is matched against the information on the card itself.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe Spec Department<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOnce the information has been verified during the Sticker Stage, the order is then off to our Spec department. This is where our research team resides. Once again, the cards are counted, the sticker information is verified and the cards that need additional research, whether there was no information provided or if it is a rare issue, are examined before all of the data is entered into the database.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nGrading<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe cards are now ready for grading. Each order is distributed to graders based on their particular skill and expertise. For example, a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle would not be distributed to one of our modern card specialists. While the graders are generally trained to handle cards from virtually all eras, they are assigned cards based on their strengths.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIn addition, the sheer number of graders assigned to each card can vary depending on the type of card submitted. In all cases, at minimum, two graders are assigned to every card.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nHere\'s an example – if you were to submit a 1965 Topps Willie Mays – this is how the grading process would work:<br />\r\n<br />\r\nEach grader receives the order and they will enter the order number into the computer. Once that is done, the contents of that order will appear on the PSA grading screen. Grader #1 will then enter his grade for the card in question (and for each card within the order until the order is completed if there is more than one card) and close the order on his screen. Once that is done and after redistribution of the order, Grader #2 will do the same – not knowing the opinion of the first grader on any of the cards within that order.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIf their grades match in the computer, the card would then eventually reach a 3rd grader for verification of the grade. If the opinion of the first two graders does not match, that card will be assigned to a 3rd grader whose opinion is required to break the tie, so to speak. As with the first example, the card would still be assigned to another grader for verification (a 4th grader in the process) to make sure the grade is accurate and consistent with our standards.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe first stage in the grading process is determining whether the card is authentic. With the values of some trading cards today, counterfeits are not uncommon on some of the hobby\'s biggest stars – especially rookie cards and reprints that are often submitted as originals.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOnce the card has been determined to be authentic, it is then checked for possible alterations. Since the value of a trading card is often linked directly to its condition, some "card doctors" as they are referred to will attempt to enhance the condition of cards in a variety of ways.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nFor example, they may attempt this by either trimming them to enhance the sharpness of the edges and corners or re-color them to enhance the color or to cover up wear along the surface or edges. There are several ways a card can be "doctored" but, if evidence of such doctoring is present, the card will not be graded by PSA because the card is no longer original according to PSA standards.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSo, finally, once the graders have determined the card to be authentic and unaltered, a grade can now be assigned to the card in question. PSA\'s 1-10 grading scale, with 10 being best, is universally accepted throughout the industry. Graders are now focusing on the characteristics of the card such as the strength and quality of the corners, color, edges, centering, surface, print clarity and overall eye appeal. PSA\'s grading standards can be found in Sports Market Report, which is the official price guide for PSA certified collectibles, and on our website. We highly recommend that submitters become familiar with those standards, because your improved knowledge may help increase your chances of attaining higher grades.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe PSA Labeling Department<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOnce the grades have been assigned in the database, the PSA labels are now generated and printed. By entering the order number into the system, our team can now print all of the crucial information for the PSA label including the card number, player and/or subject, manufacturer, grade and the unique certification number mentioned earlier in our video. Each and every collectible certified by PSA receives this unique number which is stored in our database along with that collectible\'s history.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe Sealing Department<br />\r\n<br />\r\nNow that the PSA labels have been printed, our sealing department is given the task of selecting the appropriate custom holders for each card and then carefully placing the card and PSA label within the holder. Once the contents have been assembled by hand, each card is taken to the boom room where cards are sonically sealed in our tamper-evident holders. This sonic weld is strong and helps ensure security of the PSA holder.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nVerification Stage (1)<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAfter the cards have been sealed in the PSA holders, they are then sent to the Grading Verification stage. As mentioned earlier, this is where another grader will check the orders for accuracy and consistency in relation to PSA standards. If the cards appear to meet PSA\'s guidelines, the order is then sent on to the next step in the process. If any of the cards do not appear to meet the standards, the card is then removed from the holder and re-evaluated by our staff.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nVerification Stage (2)<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOnce our grading staff has finalized the grades through the verification process, the orders are then sent to the final verification stage. This stage is PSA\'s final quality control checkpoint. Here, the order is then reunited with the original submission form and each card is matched against the paperwork.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe cards and holders are examined for defects that may have been overlooked in prior stages such as scratched cases or improper information on the PSA label. Once this is checked and verified, a PSA packing slip is printed so our shipping department is aware of the method of delivery you have selected.

			I don't know (or care) what the Beckett graders make but many of them have been there nearly 20 years now and I will assure you that they do care about getting the correct grades on a card<br />
<br />
Now, and this is not to pick on Beckett but I saw an absolutely ugly BGS 7.5  86 Fleer Jordan at my show this weekend. If Nate or Kyle wants to take a scan of that card and post it to the board, you can see why my untrained eye would have given that card a 2 at best.<br />
<br />
I will wager whomever graded that card will look at the card in the slab and be very upset at the grade that is assigned.<br />
