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 ?

Haha, that was a very quick 'yes' trifecta.

So a PRO 7.5 is equivalent to a PSA/SGC .... 6 ?

You'd be lucky if that card graded at all. Probably looking at a trim.

nope.


I am guessing Pro 7.5 = trimmed / altered / hopefully authentic.

Hey, for 46 bucks and the cost of grading I guess it's worth a shot.

Your best chance of slipping it by though is to with PSA.

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.

Bernie,

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.

Roughly speaking:

PRO 8= SGC evidence of trim

from the small scan it looks trimmed.

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.
