FS 1984-85 Star Michael Jordan 101 BGS 7.5
 

Very close to an 8 IMO, harsh centering subgrade keeps it back from being an 8. $20K f/f or check. Priced a bit over comps because of high subs. If serious interest will add back scan, back is clean. NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Very nice card. I confused on the grade and maybe I just don't know how they grade, I was always under the impression that the final grade (7.5 in this case) was based on a division of the 4 sub grades, is that not the case? 7+9.5+8.5+10 = 35 / 4 = 8.75 so shouldn't it be graded 8.5?

I wish LOL. But the rule as I understand it is the final grade cannot be more than .5 higher than the lowest sub, at least in the case of centering.

Haha.. never really owned any graded cards with sub grades (mostly just PSA) so didn't really know. I don't know how many cards I've add the 4 sub grades and it comes out to the grade given...lol

I have one with identical centering and that one got a 7.5 sub. It really is not a very good system IMO.

Reducing the true MJ rookie to 18K.
