Tom Brady 2000 SP Authentic

Does anybody know why PSA 10 of Tom Brady SP Authentic go for much more then the BGS 9.5 version? Is it because of the pop report?

    Or the Registery!!

    Could be that there is a broader market for PSA over BGS, but I'm sure the POP and Registry does play a part too.

    Without a doubt, that has to be one of the greatest hobby images out there!

    Note that it's the same serial numbered card. And yet the 9.5 has just slightly less of Brady's foot there than the 8.5.

    Make sense?

    whoa there, you might need to explain. We all know that BGS was MUCH harder on cards in 2000 and 2001 than they are today. They finally realized that people
    don't come back to you to get their cards graded if you are killing their grades! Back in the day in 2001, that card WAS a BGS 8.5, which actually wasn't a
    bad grade. Today it probably is a BGS 9.5

    same card yes, but graded in different years and with different standards!

    those scans that Brian posted is what caused my exodus of Beckett in mid 2000's....

    those scans would have been deleted on the beckett board within the hour every time!

    those scans are BGS's worst nightmare....that is when they started going downhill, catering to BRAD....



    where is dizzle now, the resident "Beckett troll"

    sure he will be here soon defending them.....
  • I just saw a BGS 9.5 sell with a buy it now of $1900 on eBay. So, if I wanted a PSA 10 Brady am I expected to throw down over $2k? Does anybody know what the last PSA 10 Brady went for? I know a PSA 10 during the 2007-08 Season sold with a BEST offer of $3k. But, that's when Brady was super HOT.
  • One of the most overpriced cards out there. Stick with the 2000 Contenders Auto. 20 years from now, people will know immedicately why the Contenders goes for 2K and will NOT understand why the SP Authentic does. Lastly, I know about the SP following, but that's going to change as time goes on because of Exquisite,Ultimate, etc....

    Can you imagine what would happen if that picture got out into the mainstream. I was 100% behind Beckett when I got back into this hobby about 18 months. I actually still really like their holder. I am sure that some trimmed/doctored cards have found there way into PSA holders, but unless I am mistaken, I have never seen a side by side comparison of the same card going from a PSA 8.5 holder into a PSA 10 holder. That is really a powerful picture.
  • I already have a PSA 10 Contenders Brady & SPX. I am looking for a PSA 10 SP Authentic and there is one on eBay right now for $3200 Buy it now or best offer. I'm looking to put together the finest Tom Brady PSA 10 collection. It'd be great if I could buy a raw one and get a PSA 10 on it but I doubt it.

    The PSA 10 Contenders already goes for more then the PSA 10 SP Authentic because those cards are so condition sensitive. I had to pay an arm and a leg for it last year (and he was hurt).

    I wasn't even gonna comment but since you brought my name up..

    Yes that is pretty bad.. a card worth a couple grand and a image from a few years back that gets posted over and over and over and over and over on this site...

    I have dozens of photos that are similiar myself too image

    How about this card that sold for $52,638.83 this year..
    The bottom Left has a pretty nice haircut..

    I think that would be a good idea. But if the thread were indeed to go "poof", that would be quite the dictatorial act. I mean, isn't one of the points of this board to educate collectors/potential collectors? And whether PSA or BGS wants to admit it or not, card doctoring, trimming, etc., exists in the hobby ... prevalent or otherwise.

    There are plenty of other places (ie beckett) to post your conspiracies.

    This is a private board and they have every right to thow out what they deem to be trash (regardless if it stinks or not).

    If you don't like it, too freaking bad.

    This IS their board and they CAN do whatever they want. That said, in this thread here, David Hall, President of Collectors Universe and Founder of PSA states as follows:



    << <i>Hello everybody,

    I'd like to explain the Collectors Universe (PSA, PSA/DNA, PCGS, PSE) policy with regards to the message boards, bashing, censorship, etc.

    We basically prefer an open forum where collectors and dealers can discuss any issue of interest, help one another, and learn from one another. We prefer not to censor the message boards. To that end, we allow negative comments about our company and in fact read them as a way of having customer feedback and gaining ideas about how to improve our services. There are two areas where the message board posts can cross the line and cause us to ban members and/or censor the posts. First, if the negative comments are mean spirited, obviously slanted, and seem to be the continual work of someone with a bashing agenda...we'll take action. Second, if someone flat out lies about our company...we'll take action. >>


    Given as such, posting, or rather informing others, about trimmed, altered, etc., cards would surely fall within the parameters of this message board and not be subject to censorship. But what do I know?

    Is this the same whiney little baby who cries when someone calls him a name?

    So not only are you a hypocrite but since you refuse to show the "proof" of your alleged "file full of stuff", you're a liar too.

    Yeah, that is what you are, because I know what your are trying to accomplish. I don't care who calls me names, as I have encountered far worse things in my life. Heck, little wimps like yourself probably couldn't handle half the stuff I have had to go through in my life, but anyway..

    If I post what I have saved in my file, I would more than likely get banned from here, since it does not shed a good light on PSA. Surely, you can't be ignorant enough to believe BGS is the only one who has graded trimmed cards? If you do believe that, you truly are ignorant.

  • A self-admitted trimmer that I know sends stuff to PSA on a weekly/monthly basis. He told me for $1000 he would show me how to get stuff past the graders. I know he sure does have a boatload of PSA 10's for sale at any given time. You claim I don't know what I am talking about, but I will say you truly are ignorant if you don't think trimming is a big problem for ALL of the big 3 grading companies. It's NOT just a BGS problem. It's a hobby problem for all of us....


    To add; PSA, SGC, and BGS are good companies overall, and I like all 3 of them for grading, but I am no homer to any one particular company. They all have strong and weak points.

    As a side note, when I get a hang nail, I just clip it. Don't act like it's the end of the world and whoa is me.

    Go sit down with a 14-year old suffering from MS. Hang out with a 29-year old, who just had his second kid, but only has about a week to live. How about giving a hug to an 36-year old woman, that ALWAYS had a healthy lifestyle, but is about to have a breast augmentation.

    You've lived a tough life?!?

    Freaking little baby. Waaaaaah! Go put on your skirt and shut the heck up.

  • <<Still, the questions surrounding the card never went away, and in a 2005 interview, PSA grader Bill Hughes, a member of the team that inspected the Gretzky T206 Wagner, admitted he knew the card had been cut from a sheet when he graded the card.

    “We were aware of that when the card came to PSA,” he is quoted as saying in “The Card.” “This particular card was obviously cut…The card is so outstanding, it would have been sacreligious to call that card trimmed and completely devalue it.”

    One of the most well known trimmed cards


    * My comments in this thread are NOT a bash of PSA, this is a post explaining/educating card collectors that trimmed cards are a problem in our hobby, and it appears to be getting worse. There are trimming devices that can duplicate a vintage cut or modern cut to a card's edges, depending on what type/year of card that is to be trimmed( I will not disclose specifically what devices, since I do not want to encourage/educate new trimmers). I am not sure any of the grading companies can stop it entirely, to be quite honest about it. PSA, BGS, and SGC do a good job overall, but there are some trimmers who are very good at what they do, and that is where they have the upper hand on the card grading companies. If they can 100% replicate a factory cut, while keeping the card within the accurate/accepted factory measurements for grading, how can a 3rd party grader catch it? Think about it..
