Default 193K for a second year Elgin Baylor

Time to cue up Cole Porter, "The world has gone mad today..."

Back is not well-centered, and the card looks narrow too to me. But who cares I guess.

Some dude put a label saying it’s perfect on the holder though, therefore it is a 10 and we need not open our eyes.

If I were a suspicious person, I would think third party grading was corrupt.

Good thing collectors don’t subscribe to these conspiracy theories or opening their eyes to view the card, let the money printer run . It doesn’t matter it’s obviously not a 10, what matters is I got more points for my registry set and flexed on some poors.

Buy the opinion, and not the holder, or the card.

70/30 on back and still gets a 10?

I would never get that grade if I sent that in. I would expect an 8 at best.

You think grading may be suspect at times!?! 🤣🤣🤣

As I like to say, all submitters are equal. Some submitters are more equal than others.
