BGS 9.5 with no sub grades listed??

[michaelpatko]

A seller on ebay has some cards I want to buy.
Young guns graded BGS 9.5
The label lists the set, player name, grade, but nothing for sub grades. It's just blank gold label.
Are these legit?

Older cards had the subs on the back of the gold label I believe.

Yeah, they will be on the back. I bought one recently that had the subs on the back.

Go the deets from Beckett Grading via facebook. "Yes, it is a service we began offering several months ago. A few dealers had been asking us to give it a try without the subgrades, so we've been quietly testing it out. So, yes, they are legitimate. They are still graded under the same standards, so the subgrades will still end up resulting in a 9.5 (they have to be prescreened to be sure they're not 10s, which have to have subgrades)."

Interesting, I'm not sure what the advantage is to having less information about the card though. I'm sure the cost to have it graded that way is still the same price.

I believe the price is actually lower for this service
