Monster Mailday :

Kobe Skybox Premium Ruby RC:



And this...

[MrAnonymous]

Old BGS Grade. Not sure why its 7.5 - Only thing wrong with it is Centering.
Corners/Edges/Surface look clean. Im hoping to get it re-graded at an 8.5




And a few smaller ones:

Killer Finest Gold!!!

With the peel intact like that getting a good surface grade is usually close to impossible, they're almost always beyond scuffed/scratched.

What't it have for surface grade now?

[MrAnonymous]

Center 7.5 (Expected)
Corner 8.5 ?!?
Edges 8 !?!
Surface 7.5 BS!

Hmm, well no way of knowing till you take it out of the case but I'd tend to agree without even seeing it...
Take ANY Finest from that era and look at the surface/peel under a naked/bare lightbulb. Then imagine that under magnification. You'll be hard pressed to find one without imperfections.

For edges there's a bubble on the right hand side. I'm sure that didn't help and that bottom right corner looks iffy.

[MrAnonymous]

Id say the right edge is a bit iffy, so Ill agree.

But the corners are pinpoint sharp.

Id like to try and get it to atleast an 8.

Well see when I send it in :)

And no mention on the Ruby? Im kind of disappointed :)

8 would def be nice, try it as it sits or peel it for a shot at a 9.

Still a sick card anyway you look at it, love those Gold's!!!

Sorry abt the Ruby, not my fave set. Skybox just changing the foiling to red didn't do it for me that year...

[MrAnonymous]

Therein is the dilemna. Collectors like high grades but also like the peel on.
If I take the peel off it gets a better grade but has less appeal. What to do ;)

And I get it. But Im fiending for these Rubies... CAnt afford the other more expensive Skybox Premium one.

Hahaa yep, peel or not to peel...
I've been fighting it for years, on low end I just buy doubles now and peel 1 of them. Bit harder for your collection.

I feel you on the Rubies, we all have sets/cards we fall in love with...
Keep looking, one will find you!!!
