I'd say that's really rolling the dice. Do you mind mentioning what you paid?

From what I have seen of PRO's grading their name is a euphemism.

Paid $700. It has really good centering and no creases so it was a pretty good deal. All of the sellers cards were PRO graded and he had sold PRO graded cards before without any negative feedback. He even had a couple 52' Topps Mantles. He guaranteed the card would grade a number or money back-a rarity with PRO graded cards from my experience
