   I just ran across a 1955 rookie card of Sandy Koufax. This doesn't look right. Item # 180199048219

   Good Day, You guy's are too generous, if I submitted it it would be a 4, maybe 5 on a good day. Neil

   The only scam is that they actually holder and "grade" cards.

   Looks like it's probably a real card but maybe overgraded by 3 or 4 grades.

   Lower Tier Grading Company - Koufax Linky There are a lot of these lower-tiered grading companies popping up. This is one of them. I would expect at least 2 grades lower if submitted to PSA, BGS, or SGC and also the potential for trimmed or altered cards. Good luck.

   Link to Photoshopped Koufax Rookie Looks like someone did some photoshopping on this one for sure. The card is probably like a 5 and they put it in a "PGA" holder. Not that it would bring more money or anything, so why go through the trouble?
