Maybe they should check their own website again and reassess the card.
<< <i>Gem Mint 10: A VGS Gem Mint card is nearly perfect in its condition. And displays, pristine attributes including four perfectly sharp corners, dead on focus and all original gloss intact.

<< <i>It has been rumored that both BGS, PSA, and many of the other 'leaders' in the industry have become more political than accurate. Allegedly providing only a limitted number of Gem Mint rated cards, in order to keep their name the number one valued in the sportscard market. >>
Who can beat this kind of logic - I recommend we all crack our holders and submit to Virgin Girls' Service and watch the 10's come rollin in! Is this a collector222 thing? Stone
cant blaim it on me, they dont even look to have a submission form. and that obviously is not a gem mint 10 card.he will probably sell afew of those ruin vgs's repuation if it had one and then have to start over again , instead of grading the cards accuratley
He bought a 53 Topps Mantle reprint and a 33 Goudey Ruth reprint back in September. Now he is selling his "genuine" cards. I guess he prefers to own reprints. He has also listed many other lots. On his Mantle card he says it is in "unbelievable" condition. I'll take his word for it that the card is un(not)believable. Mr. Scammer built up some positive feedback to establish "credibility" and now he's coming in for the kill.
Someone should really start a gallery of all the grading "companies" that we've seen. It'd be interesting to see them all lined up next to each other with examples of each.
The line would probably go on forever. With people selling holders and such, there are so many out there that the guys graded 10 cards under each name. I guess some people still fall for it.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all of these wonderful services we have available to us. These guys are just nuts! Do you think they know they're nuts and perhaps are just baiting us to get posted here? Kind of like guys who paint ESPN on their chests to get on SportsCenter? The cards they "slab" are so bad, they appear to be cherry-picked from hundreds of better copies! Great stuff, as always. Thanks for sharing.

<< <i>Love the centering on this card! Anyone no why it only got an 8.5? >>
Subgrades are perfect 10's except 7 for centering.
