Why get cards graded???

looks trimmed to me....that's about the only reason to get graded by one of these fly by night TPG's...but then again...why not just use PSA!!!

sometimes you win...
 
I won a lot of four GMA graded T206s... each was graded "2". Sent them to SGC and got three 30s and the Hoblitzell was a 50.

This seems like a good reason to follow advice I have seen here quite a few times...buy the card, not the holder.

Yea I agree, get them graded to know they are not trimmed. When 80% of the 8s or better including the Wagner are trimmed and slabbed a number.

You guys are starting to catch on to this grading abortion!

well, if u flip to the back of that slab there is a company website - certifiedexpress.com Is the company...that site is for sale, seems very shady
