    Grading

    Grading has changed the face of collecting to many. My question. Let's say you have 2 LeBron RC's, 1 of them is a high end brand like Exquisite, but it's graded as an 8. The other LeBron is a lower end brand like Topps Crome, but is a pristine 10. So, a LeBron Exquisite rc graded 8, or LeBron Topps Chrome rc pristine 10. Which would you rather have?? (I know there are a lot of questions in between....just as a general, for the sake of argument/debate.)

    Thanks for your response, LB. I'll give you one more. Lol. BGS 7 Exqisite LeBron rc or Topps Chrome refractor LeBron rc BGS pristine 10? Close or is that another no brainer? Just curious.

    Depends on the price difference, to me. But, I honestly hate graded cards. IMO, you shouldn't need to have a company tell you how good or bad a card is.... God gave you eyes :)

    It really depends... I only collect BGS/PSA 9 mint or above. So I wouldn't put anything that's a BGS/PSA 8 in my collection. I'd rather crack it open and put it in a normal holder if it came out a grade lower than a mint 9.

    So it all comes down to how much a BGS 10 Pristine Topps Chrome LB RC card is worth/going for on eBay... vs the price of a raw Exquisite LB RC card. Whichever I see has a higher price tag is the one I'm attracted to.
