I don't care how bad the grading company is, how can they justify this grade?

    I especially loved the subgrade: Centering 9!

    Wonder what an 8 would like like, maybe the preceding card on the sheet would be halfway on it! LOL!


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    You'd think they would atleast trim the left edge that has a 1/4 mile of border showing....instead of the right that hardly exists anyways...

    Must be trying to hide the 2 dinged corners....lol

    So I'm guessing centering now means....the picture fits the sheet of cardboard. I mean yeah, you can tell the trim from the rightside cut line(follow from bottom to top w/ the cursor). Add on that with the big ole' 0 in the feedback. Been a member for less than one month, lol. Comical. Anyone who bids on this deserves what they get.

    The extra border to the left is because the Mick is batting righty. Geez guys, come on now, anyone could see that!

    I wonder if this seller wonders why he has had
    over 440 visitors, and only two bidders, each with
    less than 10 FBs.

    You guys are too harsh. If it wasn't 90/10 it would have been a 12. image

    srs,

    You joke but I'm still waiting for a company to come out with a grading scale that goes to 11.


    BAG (Baseball Authentic Grading): The grades all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
    eBay buyer: Oh, I see. And most grades go up to ten?
    BAG: Exactly.
    eBay buyer: Does that mean it's better? Is it any more mint?
    BAG: Well, it's one minter, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be grading at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your grade. Where can you go from there? Where?
    eBay buyer: I don't know.
    BAG: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
    eBay buyer: Put it up to eleven.
    BAG: Eleven. Exactly. One minter.
    eBay buyer: Why don't you just make ten minter and make ten be the top grade and make that a little better?
    BAG: Ours go to eleven.

    Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
    Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
    Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
    Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
    Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
    Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
    Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
    Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
    Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
    Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
    Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

    No problem. I'd be willing to bet we're not the first to think of that joke. Still damn hilarious though.

    The grading company or person's garage if you like, was based out of Michigan. I have seen that grading company before on ebay all from a seller in Michigan. All of his cards were graded 10. Was just a joke and could not believe how much of this crap he sold. This must be a second owner of the card or a new Ebay ID and the person has now moved.
