I know we always post threads laughing at or ripping other grading companies and this is no different but how can a card so badly oc be graded a 9.5? Is it just so they(PRO) can say they have a card such as this graded so high or is their standards really that low?

    The card appears to be somewhat off-center .......


    ........but one thing for sure in a PRO holder the card is undoubtable trimmed.

    The image itselft appears compressed from side to side. Anyway, I really doubt this card is trimmed. It's more likely a fake.

    Now now now.......From the few months that I have been coming here to these boards the consensus is that PRO at least doesn't grade fake cards.

    Pro Grading has no standards which are of any value. To me, a Pro Graded 1 is worth as much as a Pro Graded 10 which is NOTHING.

    The guy has one neg and it's for selling a fake Jordan and one neutral:

    Card is not real; but it was sold as is with no guaranty.

    It's amazing how many people sell on ebay and violate the authenicity rule about selling stuff "as is" with no guarantee of authenticity.

    The seller and the company are well matched.

    That's right! Forget buying homes, invest in PRO graded crapola!

    Kids + Ebay = a bad mix.
