Upgrades, Downgrades & What the !@#$#$%

[Leon]

I really felt this had a shot of going from 5.5 to 6. SGC agreed and I am very happy. It deserved this holder. Show Upgrades, Downgrades & What the !@#$#$% cards if you care to .

That's a great card to have in an 80 holder...and I too thought it was undergraded when you first posted it.

Leon - That Cobb looks better than a 6 to me.
- I took this card to the National with intent to ask for an upgrade, but I forgot (Card was buried in my stack). Kinda bummed about it as I have been planning to plead my "Case" for 6 months. I have compared this card to my other 6's as well as other pre-war cards in 7 holders and I can't help but to think this is undergraded. I didn't want to mail it in and have it sent back with no action, as I have never seen another T210 look better. I was even going to ask for a 7, but settle for a 6.5 ! Oh well... I will take it next year.

Man that's a nice T210 Jeremy!

I don't have very many BVG graded cards in my collection, it is about 60% SGC, 30% PSA and 10% GAI but I had the opportunity to cross over the T207Weaver in to a 3 holder with BVG and was pleased with their service. They also graded a couple of Series 6 T210s for me at the same time and wouldn't cross over a Matty which I had asked for a full bump and they said they could give it only a .5 bump.
I think their service was excellent and will use them again. They seem to grade fairly but strictly. My one gripe is their holder doesn't have the eye appeal of SGC.
It was obvious BVG is more often used by collectors with the newer cards as everyone at the booth was dropping off shiny stuff, but with all the rumors about SGC and its future I may start giving BVG a chance from time to time.

Hey Leon,

What was the procedure? Did you leave it in the holder and walk it up to the table or did you crack it and do a blind resubmit? Just wondering. It definitely deserves the 6.

[danmckee]

Absolute 6, no question. Glad to see justice has been served.

I got this graded at the show. It was my first time ever grading anything. I was pretty happy with the result. I didn't think it would grade this high although I really don't have any experience with grading.




I missed you at the show Leon. I stopped by the booth, but you were out and about. I wanted to personally say thanks for your help over the past year as I've gotten into vintage. I've been able to pick up a few things aftering getting your opinion on authenticity. Thanks, even though it's not in person

I thought because of the centering, this card wouldn't have gotten a high grade, but the folks at SGC said it has the nicest surface they have ever seen on an E90-2.

[brob28]

Not pre-war, but I though this one would grade higher.

[asoriano]

I thought I'd take a chance and buy this card with the intention of crossing it at National. I really thought this card had a chance at receiving a SGC 60.





It now resides as a 50, but still looks great:
