Capitol Grading? Look at this beauty

I should have been a 10

This is the first I've heard of capitol grading (I think). Hard to keep up with all the fly by nights. I saw an "FGS" earlier tonight, and I've seen that before, but I have no clue what it stands for. Anyone else have a 4th or 5th world grading service nobody has ever heard of?

Comments

  • I actually own a few FGS graded cards--modern cards of the Fleer Focus Masterpiece Mania set that I actively pursue...just waiting for the day I crack and resubmit them...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    << <i>FGS in ebonics >>





    The guy clearly can't spell very well and has a bit of trouble with grammar too.... maybe he's old? Maybe he's French? Maybe it's just as he says...he can't type?

    You assume he's Black and then post what certainly appears to be a "racist" remark....



    It's one thing to criticize the listing in a respectful manner but another to do as you have done.

    Having grown up in Oakland, California, and a product of the deplorable Oakland Public School system (where Ebonics was actually proposed as a course of study in 1996 - no joke!), the grammar in that eBay listing is NOT even remotely proper Ebonic syntax.

    No, my guess is that bad grammar is probably written some bored, meth-addled suburban kid with rich yuppie parents who moved to the 'burbs to get away from all the immigrants in the cities, wears pants four sizes too big so they show off his white Jockey briefs, wears a beanie or baseball cap askew and doesn't think it makes him look like a moron, has the attention span of a flea, and can't read or write but can text message like a mofo - exchanges that usually go like this...

    How's that for stereotyping?
  • There's always something wrong with my posts to pick apart and attack. The guy typed in ebonics, and there's nothing racist implied or otherwise about that.

  • I haven't teamed with anybody. I agree with his assessment of some of the regulars here. You're shameful trolls, threatened by people you perceive have more knowledge than yourselves, and you'll do anything to troll them off--even if it means stooping to the lowest depths of message board depravity to do it. Any and all posts I make, no matter how innoculate or precise, you tear apart and begin your gang bully sessions. It's so transparent and obvious to anyone watching who doesn't have a stake in the outcome. If you treated people with respect, you'd be much happier, both online and off--but they don't teach that in schools, it's a learned behavior. Sorry if you lack it.

    You giving out flu shots with your posts now, too?

    but they don't teach that in schools

    They certainly taught me the difference between "innoculate" and "innocuous", genius. image

    What was that show in the 80's with the guy in the jail that tried to use big words yet made NO sense when doing so?

    was it IN LIVING COLOUR?

    Capitol Grading is one of the 2 grading companies of choice for the guys selling fake Star cards. Tuff Stuff had a large story on it a couple years ago.

    There are offbrand grading companies I might buy a card slabbed by (heck, I even bought a PRO graded card once - but it was a manufacturer certified auto of Mike Bossy for $6.50). Capitol is not one of them.
