    Taken from the description...

    "This card was given a Gem Mint 10 but it has numerous flaws and is overgraded in my opinion."

    This has got to be the understatement of the year.

    Same guy listed the same card a couple months ago.
    We all laughed at him then. Still funny today.

    I feel it has a strong chance to cross to a PSA 1.5 or 2, if the right grader gets a hold of it.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    Maybe their grading scale is 1-100.

    If you look at his other stuff he carries cards from all 3 major grading services - RGS, SWG, and PCA.

    RGS = Ripoff Grading Service?

    I offered him $50 for it.

    That would be interesting. So since their 10 is noted as 'Gem Mint', then a 100 must be a 'Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Gem Mint'.

    Can I ask a question.

    Why would anybody grade or for that matter buy a card using those types of grading services?

    I just don't get it. Maybe what George Carlin said was true "take a look at the average American and remember that half are dumber than that".
    In the USA all men are created equal but some are more equal than others....

    Reminds me of some dealer back in the 70's at the St. Louis card show. He showed me a 55 Topps Hanks Aaron. He described it as having rounded edges with a crease, otherwise it is gem mint. This guy could be a relative.

    Same thing happened to me years ago when I was purchasing a 61 Topps Mantle ALL Star without really taking a close look at it the Dealer told me it was gem mint.Since I dealt with this dealer at his store in the Metro Detroit Area probably the largest in the State many times I did not think he would pull a fast one on me.All I will say is that the dealer is no longer in buisness.Rumor has it he was a bit underhanded.

    The person that graded it was likely the owner with his own grading "company" in his basement. It's still a card that is worth something. Wouldn't a lot of people buy it, if the price was right?
