Some graded cards for trade

**CompleteGibberish** · 02-13-2011, 04:33 PM

I picked these up after a chat with one of the graders who used to work for the company, PGS.

Seems they had money issues,couldn't afford decent advertising and with so many companies as well as so many with similar names,they died the slow and broke death.
He said the biggies confusion was locally between Nashville and Atlanta, people called them PRO Grading. The problem with this was a company called PRO grading was out trimming cards,replacing counterfeit cards with originals and generally ripping everyone off.
At some point the money end was going down so fast the companies supplies and machines were sold to another party who transformed it into a Coin grading company and moved on.

So,I viewed the cards I picked out, TBH most were just crap cards regardless of how clean they were, and if anything I noticed several were under graded. 1 would be an 8.5 off centered,perfect corners, no surface marks, a 9+ at BGGS, 9 at PSA. He said that under grading was the only way they could stay viable. People had too many views on what a 9 or a 10 was and with BGGCs steaming ahead of everyone else,they had to be apart from the rest by under grading to ensure people that they were not fudging numbers in order to get more sales.

Anyway, it was a nice convo

Here are some cards,looking to trade for 2010 Bowman chrome players

Can sell,but would like to trade, post/pm if there is any interest
