PRO Grading Company
 
Posted By: <b>Bernie</b><p>I bought this card back in mid December for $46. I'm wondering why I got it so cheap for a grade of NM+ 7.5. Is the PRO Grading Company a complete joke ?<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh14/jeter62375/th_billy_gilbert.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>Bernie</b><p>Haha, that was a very quick 'yes' trifecta.<br /><br />So a PRO 7.5 is equivalent to a PSA/SGC .... 6 ?

Posted By: <b>Zinn</b><p>Hey, for 46 bucks and the cost of grading I guess it's worth a shot. <br /><br />Your best chance of slipping it by though is to with PSA.<br /><br />(I can't believe I said that <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14> Just broke my New Years resolution <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>)<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>The bright side is that it was an inexpensive $46 lesson instead of a $500 - $1000 lesson. The first thing most vintage collectors think when they see a PRO holder is "trimmed." Stick with SGC, PSA, Beckett, and GAI and your odds of getting a trimmed card in a holder go way down. And if they were trimmed and reside in a high numbered holder, they were trimmed really, really well. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p>Bernie,<br /><br />Typically the PRO graded cards are authentic, just slightly trimmed or over graded. Judging by the scan you provided the card is a bit short.

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>from the small scan it looks trimmed. <br /><br />I bought only 1 PRO card in my life. Of course it turned out trimmed and that nailed it for me. CSA, PRO stay away from those 2.
