I received the grades last week and they arrived today (CA to NJ in 5 days, including the weekend!) I had one card come bak not holdered evidence of trimming and I'll get it scanned later tonight... maybe someone can point out the trimmed area?

This card came back a 5 and I looked at the cards with a loupe before sending them out and I must've missed something. I took another good look at it in the holder and still don't see what I missed the 1st time.

Here are a few of the highlights of the submission.

There's a couple more, but my son crashed his computer over the weekend and needs mine to finish homework.

I'll post the rest later tonight.

I'm not expert at grading by any means so this is just a guess. Maybe the printing spots in the red and blue areas of the ribbon dropped the grade? It is a nice looking card though! Great centering!

A clean looking 5 usually has a back paper wrinkle (crease that does not go all the way through the card). I've seen it heavily with 55B FB. let us know

The back of the card appears clean, at least thru the slab. The back's centering is as good as the front and free of stains. I thought about the 4 bubble spots on the front, but they're typical of the Rookie star cards from the set. I've seen 7s & 8s with far more bubble spot on the card.
Other than the 4 spots, I didn't see anything else wrong on this card when I sent it in. I guess I'll have to crack it out and take a real good look at the back of the card. because I can't spot anything wrong thru the slab.

I highly doubt the "fish eye" dots would downgrade the card. Nice looking card(8ish) that gets a 5 has to have paper wrinkle. Backs are usually overlooked.

I'm concentrating on the back of the card and thinking this is a crack and resub. I just found the wrinkle, it very small, on the front and right near the ball (right where you would hold to put in or take out of a penny-sleeve or CD1) I wouldn't have missed this when I was getting the cards ready for the submission, but I suppose I could've damaged the card putting it in a CD1.

This one was a nice surprise! Sorry about the LARGE scan.

This one I had figured for a strong 8. Another nice surprise, low pop.
