Gem Mint - 9.5 centering - stupid bidders

jrinck · July 22, 2004 3:35AM

Somehow this seller has 100% positive feedback with 251 transactions. Stupid bidders is right.

OK. If I put up for auction a pile of dog crap, and tell you it is a pile of dog crap and you buy it, how can you complain that you got dog crap? Apparently his "customers" are happy with what they got. He is not saying anything that the card is not. It is not the sellers fault but the uneducated buyers. But they are getting what they pay for..... go figure......

Conveniently the only graded card he isn't showing is the PSA 8. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an 8OC.

9.5 centering, you say? Ouch is right...another fine Gem Elite grading experience!

Interestingly enough..he shows a Puckett that's raw. So I wonder if you get 2x Pucketts...

Wow, what an ugly card. 80/20 top/bottom. Not surprising from that BS company.

I don't get why the puckett is PSA graded 8 and the clemens is a gem elite 10?

Or maybe he cracked a PSA 8 open and sent it to GEM Elite? He says they are both from the same set.

What I don't get is why so many of the cards graded by that company are trimmed. Why trim a card just to send it to a company that apparently gives almost everything a 10? Is it just a force of habit for some of these jerks?

The only reason I can think why the bidding has topped $200 is that the bidders think they can crack it and get PSA 9 ... which right now is fetching $350-$400. I doubt that it would, since it was likely graded PSA 8 along with the Puckett in the first place. That is, if it's not an x-acto special.

"They also have incorporated a "Pristine" grade to their service. From the cards I have seen graded by Gem Elite, I am very impressed with their determination of the final grades."

Yeah, I bet.

You can bet the farm on one thing when it comes to Gem - like Pro, there is a good chance that the card has been trimmed. This company is, IMO, totally without merit and can not be trusted. In fact, it is possible that they may be a 'supplier' as well as a 'grader' of cards - remember I am alleging this and not saying that I have evidence. Now, having said that, this is one company that I would not feel good apologizing to.
