FGS Grading Company??

1974 or 1973 ?

Do all the grading companies know the years of cards?

In the example, the card is obviously a 1973 Topps, but the label states 1974 Topps.

It could just have been a typo, but I have seen these simple errors numerous times on EBAY. Especially with FGS.

Is FGS a legitimate service or just a fly by night company?

    FGS sucks, plain and simple. I bought 2 FGS cards for re-grading by PSA. One was an FGS 10 and the other a 9. Both got graded a PSA 7. They are cheap if you are looking to save some money, but consider each FGS grade equals two grades lower from PSA.

    Hope this helps,

    The seller states, "This card is very rare to find in this grade".

    No kidding, I'd bet any card is hard to find in any grade in an FGS holder. image

    That doesn't make them collectible.

    I may keep an eye on this auction though. I think this is one of those cases where a graded card will sell for far less than the same raw card in similar condition because a majority of raw card buyers on ebay don't look at the graded auctions. Nice card for an average grade raw set. Just my opinion.

    JEB.
