They posted a bunch of cards with stickers on their facebook page. They actually look pretty nice.

I see a 1960 Fleer Jack Kemp PSA 8 that's off-center with bad registration.
A 1966 Topps Mantle PSA 4 with a diamond cut and moderate corner wear.
A 1978 OPC Murray PSA 8 that's off-center.
A 1960 Topps Yaz RC PSA 5 with significant PD.

All cards that I would consider average for the grade.

Does not inspire confidence.

That's what I am saying. It cheapens the brand when these stickers are handed out willy-nilly. They should ONLY be reserved for top tier items. I do want to see this person succeed. He needs to take the advice he has been given here to heart though.

I still would like a answer to my questions.


I’ll ask one of them again . How can a 10 or for a better example a BGS 9.5 get a purple sticker ? Is it better then most 9.5s? How ?

Better centering, free of minor print defects or other small flaws that are still permitted on a 9.5 or 10.

And how many BGS 9.5 Mariano Riveras do you think you would have to examine before you could say with confidence that a particular one was the 1 in 20 that merited the purple sticker?

Not sure if this question has been asked or answered yet. However, what provisions are made if a "purple label" holder does not crossover or get a better grade through re-submission? Are only PSA, SGC and BGS holders evaluated? What about GAI?

Yea I'm not saying I felt that Rivera deserved a purple sticker. And I already stated I think this idea is pretty ridiculous and unnecessary. But there are cards I've seen that have had noticable difference between one 9.5 or 10 and another. I have seen off center psa 10s, and others with focus issues or print defects. Look at a few 86 Jordans for example.
