If you're looking for raw, then yeah, sometimes. If you're looking to grade any of it, stay away, there is a reason those cards are not graded.

NE sportscards is the outlet where 4sc sells the cards that won't get the grades they want, whether it's centering, a wrinkle, etc. If you want raw cards you can get some deals. Just look carefully at what you're buying and don't bid with your heart thinking the seller is wrong and it will grade an 8 or 9. It will not grade an 8 or 9.

How do you know this? I don't get cards graded, yet, but how can you be sure of this?

I was wondering about NE Sportscards myself. The cards look really nice in their scans, but are you saying that perhaps they're not really as nice as they appear? While I'm not that picky about centering as long as it's reasonable, I sure don't want to end up with cards with wrinkles.

In many cases, you can't tell the difference between a 7 or 8 or 9 in a scan. All that is being said here is that if it looks like a surefire 7 with an outside shot at a 9, gauranteed it's not a 9. If it was, they would have graded it. If I'm not mistaken, they sell a lot of picked over vending boxes that weren't great for grading so they dump them on NE. They sell those boxes as just that too, but I'm sure many people bid on them hoping that the commons will grade, and they probably won't.

Well, I'm only interested in nice NRMT raw stuff anyway, so I don't care THAT much about grading.

I know that they do a high volume of sales but all that negative feedback just makes me want to run away from them.
