Thank you! Beautiful '6' looking card for a discount!

Was that Banks rookie on your sub too?

I knew that wouldn't last long. The buyer got a deal on that. Hard to find them centered t/b like that.

[bobbyw8469]

Yes..the Banks was mine as well.......I thought everything looked good.

[bobbyw8469]

Still available....

I would crack it out and resubmit it

[bobbyw8469]

I thought about it JJ....I just hate playing that game....I despise it. I could tell you some stories about a card's history that will make your head spin. While some people enjoy the crackout game, I view it as a money making venture of the grading companies, that eat into the bottom line.

Were you able to tell if that is a wrinkle at the bottom by any chance? That is probably the reason it is graded a 5 and not a 5.5 or 6. Still a nice card. Still interested at my offer price.

Right on. So true. Yes, it's an opinion-- and one company's opinion can understandably vary from another's. But the same company should get it right the first time they are paid to do so. The very principle of allowing a review is to concede they often get it wrong. I say use'm for what amounts to authentication and judge the grade with our own eyes.
