Question for all you collectors of shiny new junk cards......

The refractors in the 2009 Topps Chrome basketball set, for which I have a great affinity, are notorious for having 'bleed' marks on them. These marks can range from barely noticable to covering 33% of the card front.

I read somewhere that the refractors in that year's Topps Chrome baseball set also have these 'bleeding' problems.

My question is how badly do you guys think these marks affect the value of the cards? Also have any of you seen any of these graded by PSA? I'm wondering if they would get a PD qualifier or just a lower grade....

I don't know, but could you tell me what you mean by "bleed" marks?

Can we get a scan of a card with bleed marks? The 93s have refractor lines. They are not listed as a PD.

below is a link to 3 D Wade refractors. The first two have bleed marks....

Yuck!

Can you feel those marks, or are they print flaws?

I can't imagine those cards would avoid a PD qualifier.

No, they're flat against the card, and yes, they are horrible looking. Like i said before, some are big and ugly, and some are pretty small.

I just picked up a raw Blake Griffin with a tiny little mark along the left border. I'll try to scan it later tonight.

here's that Griffin refractor. Any opinions on how badly the little bleed marks will hurt the value?

I can't comment on the bleeding, but that's got to be one of the goofiest faces I've ever seen on a card......

I would be smiling too if I was 23 making $7.2 million a year plus endorsements.

That's just a watermark on the seller's pictures, it is on all of them.

yes, there's a seller watermark on the bottom of the pic, but there is some refractor bleed along the left edge of the card. Look in the white border

$2000 for a 3 year old card with that obvious flaw?
