    I haven't heard a thing about all star grading, but I wouldn't stake too much in their graded cards. I would say it would be hard to say its a steal until you get it graded by BGS or PSA. I would crack it out myself, I wouldn't trust the card company to do so without damaging the card.

    How is the holder fastened in the corners, its hard to tell.

    I stay away from any graded cards other than BGS(and their offshoots) and PSA. These days their are too many "grading comapanies" popping up that grade cards out of their garage with no references as to their qualifications as graders of sportscards.
    If you look on eBay you will see the majority of 10's out there are a result of these what I like to call "garage graders". Not to be a downer but I personally do not take alot of stock in what any of these companies grade as a "10"...just my opinion though.

    If its screws, then what is to stop someone from opening the holder and replacing the card that was actually graded with the same card in worse condition. Not trying to be a downer either, hope it turns out for you.

    I hate to break it to you.

    At best that card is an unaltered 7 BGS/PSA.

    At worst it is trimmed and doctored.

    Never ever buy anything that is holdered and not by one of the big 3 on key rookies. (BGS, PSA or SGC)

    If it was worth sending it into one of those places then it would have been done already if it is holdered by some goofy grading company no one has ever heard of.

    i dont think it would be a screw up because wouldnt that be kind of obvious that some would fake a card... maybe its just for the look but I will lyk guys what it is when I get the card

    did some research there used to be a couple of cards graded by the company from naxcom and 10 from this company should equal 9-10 bgs :)
