So sick of these mini BGS-graded Star cards
Saw another one today, compare. The minis always seem to be from the same seller.

Hi Peter I'm not familiar with this card and don't understand. The card graded 9.5 is trimmed?

It looks quite a bit smaller to me than the 9, as have quite a few other cards I have seen from the same seller that I have posted about before. Maybe he just had a huge run of natural shorts?

Could the minis be the ones that were printed in Florida in the 90’s? I don’t know much about Star. It would be disheartening to find out the only TPG that slabs Star can’t spot fakes.

I don't think they're fakes. Either they're just short naturally, or they're trimmed, I don't know. But I've seen quite a few of them.

I've noticed the same thing as Peter. Those cards are not naturally thin, they're trimmed as f*ck. This is really pissing me off.

If that's so one is left with two very disturbing choices -- either Beckett can't spot an obviously trimmed card that is clearly short to the eye, or they are doing favors for a large submitter.

Now Peter, if you notice that these undersized cards keep coming from the same seller, then I think this needs to be brought to Beckett's attention. This doesn't look good at all. |

This is a very good site regarding Star BKB.
http://www.basketballgold.com/ I have no contacts with Beckett and I assume they would just deny everything given the magnitude of the problem. What TPG has ever confessed to anything except an isolated mistake? In any event I believe their vintage grader reads the board so he can do what he wants with the information.

I dont think these were faked, the cards in the OP are from the Jordan set. I don't recall cards being shorter...most likely trimmed.

There is a big thread about BGS graded trimmed basketball cards over on blowout right now. Cards worth 100k and up, trimmed and graded. Gotta love it!

That whole segment of the market is a mystery to me. All artificial scarcity.

The elusive GEM MINT 10 grade by any grading company maybe artificial scarcity, the GEM MINT 10 (or any other grade) that is trimmed in order to get the distinction of the grade, is more like fraud and illustrates incompetence of the grading company if they are truly not a part of it.

Crunch And Munch, Lite, and the 10 card 1986 Jordan sets are all original authentic Star sets. They were not Shop at Home sets.

The problem though is that he's so angry that it taints his objectivity and his judgment. He has a vendetta.
