I am trying to get a clemente psa 7/8 in a 55 topps I just saw that a PCG 9.5 is listedon ebay...How is a PCG grade? How does that compare to a PSA if I were to bust it out of its holder? Is PCG one of the companies that grade "trimmed" cards? the item number is 3277535517 please advise!!!!

Thanks

    A few years back I bought a common 1950 Bowman that they graded an 8. I actually put in a bid for $2 and actually ended up winning it (go figure). I cracked it and sent it in. I believe it came back a 5 or 6 at most (it wasn't trimmed).

    In any case, I'd hold out for a PSA version of the card (unless it sells for a ridiculously low price). I've been on the look out for this Clemente (in much lesser condition) for my HOF RC set and it's just not worth the time to try and crack cards from 'questionable' graders in hopes of hitting the jackpot. JMHO.

    Actually, now that I've seen the link, I take back what I said earlier b/c I haven't seen this company before. I think the company I won my card from was something like PGS instead.

    PCG stands for PRO choice grading, i hope this is not related to PRO grading. just a thought.image

    Personally, I would be nervous about the card because of the sellers feedback. I don't think I would take the chance.

    i agree with ONEGAUCHO , i'd wait for a PSA clemente. i'd stay away from any other company except for the credible ones. GAI, SGC and maybe BVG (not BCCG). i would also avoid the seller.

    Unless you know where a card originated from i would also avoid BVG they are well Known in the vintage card market for grading NON factory cut cards wether they be from a sheet or an oversized card being cleaned up. Anyone who doesnt believe me take a card in a BVg holder to a major show and see how few of the Big time dealers have any interest in your card.image

    And also left to right centering looks off from the scan...good advice given thus far, stay away if your intent is to crack and resubmit this one.
