Question on How S74 Silks are graded

[GregMitch34]

It is a white. I'd swear I've seen whites with no backing get a grade, but maybe not.

Well, at least I got a half point bump on a PSA card I sent at same time.

If a white one got a numerical grade without a paper back it would be a mistake...and mistakes can happen.

Pretty sure if ad is on front, card is identified numerically as if there was no back

Okay, I get it.

One other thing. I have a thing about (against) "baggies." Don't bid on or buy any card, with very rare exceptions, that is in any kind of covering (except the slab plastic). I hate the Silks in bags so I asked SGC to do mine without it and they agreed. Yes, it only got an "A" but it looks fantastic--shiny even--in the slab without the baggy.

Also I just switched a very nice NM card of another type out of a PSA holder only for that "baggy" reason and happily got a 7.5 from SGC but that's just a bonus because it looks 100% without the bag. I guess we all have our hangups. Don't get me started on centering.
