Well after all my bi**hing I finally got my grades. I guess techinically they didn't "miss" the turnaround time as my grades were ready yesterday. Since my order wasn't put in til the 7th they were actually 1 day early... Either way, here's what I got back.

What's really interesting about this is that the gold refractor Carmelo had a few scratches on the surface that were substantial enough I thought to warrant an 8, but I figured I would try it anyway. Well, it got a 9. However, the sp signature rookie ink is as solid as any card in this lot and got an 8. I didn't see any creases, the corners are sharp, I gave a quick wipe to the surface and the edges had no fraying. Centering was near perfect too. I'll have to take another look at it when I get it back. The Gretzky as a 10 was mostly submitted because I really thought it was a 10. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have graded it. The Mauer Refractor was 65/35 LR centering. Thought I might still sneak a 9 out of it. The surface had one small print dot on the top left, that's probably what helped knock it down to an 8. I have another one coming to Tri-Star for BGS to do onsite that is perfectly 50/50 all the way around. I have high hopes for that one.

Here they are. I was disappointed with the 83 Topps but very happy otherwise. Good luck to everyone else.
