It would be nice if Topps would QC their 1/1's...
I'm ecstatic that I was lucky enough to have found and now own this Sabo 1/1! ... I just wish the centering was a little better.
Ya know... it would be nice if card manufactures (like Topps) would at least put a little QC into their 1/1's. The corners, edges, and surface on this card are great! ... but that centering really bummed me out. I decided to send this to BGS in hopes that I'd get a soft grade and get lucky... maybe a 9.0
I figure if I send this to PSA, I'd get an 8, or a 9oc... YUCK! What do you think? I'd have no problems with cracking and re-submitting this to PSA if most think it'd be a straight 9... but I'd be surprised. I'd rather not risk damaging it just for it to come back an 8 or 9oc. Again, the corners, surface, and edges are great... those aren't a problem.
I collect and submitt to both Beckett and PSA (exclusively.) Eventually, I'd like to have as many of Sabo's cards graded by both PSA and BGS.

Anybody else have a 1/1 card with horrid QC ???

<< <i>Nice card. It's a 9. I'm sure you get this a lot, but why the fascination with Sabo?

Agreed. Ignore BGS's goofy subgrades and look at the card in its entirety-- the centering is 60/40 ish, corners are sharp, etc. etc. PSA wouldn't have any problem putting that card in the proper slab.
Also, I think more QC on 1/1's would be easier said than done. What if someone pulled this card off the line for being OC? I'm sure it came from a sheet, so you'd have to go back and print up another sheet, cut this card out, and so on. Although, on second thought, for the money they charge for packs it does seem like they could make a little stronger effort.
I'd agree that the centering would still be good enough for an unqualified 9.
Boopotts - Again, thanks for the assurance that it will grade out properly. You're right, integrating more QC is easier said than done... just a bummer when you're lucky enough to have found a 1/1 that you never thought you'd see in a lifetime... and it's OC. AND... you're right again! With some packs hitting the market at nearly (or exceeding) $500/pack!!! Let's hire someone other than Stevie Wonder to do the QC, huh?!?!??
Elemenopeo - And again... thanks. Yep, I think I'll crack this one out and see what PSA has to say about it. Worse case scenario, it comes back an 8, but at least it'll still be slabbed and protected!
