all those young guns 9.5s look awesome in your sig Philly :shock:
Thanks :) Don't think I'll be able to fit anymore due to the character restriction, but I'll have to throw something together once I send some more out.


Paul you can always just align all the scans in Microsoft Paint and make them into 1 image. I do that with all my cards in my rotating sigs.
Yeah, that's what I meant about throwing something together. I did that a while ago with a couple Bobs I had in there. Just have to wait until I find a job so I can get the other 43 graded.

I figured you knew to do that but just wanted to make sure.
:) Thanks for looking out Dave.

The funny thing about this is, I'd love to say I was kidding. The unfunny thing is, I'm not. Let me explain.

A couple months ago when I was selling off my Tyson Jackson collection and was full speed into my Bobrovsky collection, I decided as a side project I would try and get 35 of Bobrovsky's Young Guns. I bought a couple graded ones (2 BGS 9.5s and a PSA 10) but was either buying them raw or pulling them from packs. Once I got a couple together, I would send them to BGS for grading. Had to stop at 14 due to some money troubles. I just got the last 5 that I submitted in the BGS May Group Sub.

Exclusives #91/100 and 2 French

2 English

I don't know if you can see it because I resize my scans, but they all have the same sub-grades. 9.5, 9, 9.5, 9.5. I really wanted a BGS 10 for my PC, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Only 2 English, 0 French, and 0 Exclusives BGS 10s. The 2 English were on ebay around the mid-season mark and they went pretty high considering raw they were going for 8-13 at the time.

That makes 10 BGS 9.5s (7 english, 2 french, 1 exclusives), 1 PSA 10, 2 english not submitted, and a retro YG not submitted.

Paul those look awesome and it's pretty crazy that they all received the same grades.
Something else that was weird about this sub. I sent in a Crown Royale with a minimum 9.5 grade. They kicked it back saying, "Does Not Meet Minimum Grade." On the slip that shows the problems with the card, the grader circled all the die-cut areas. So because it's die-cut, I couldn't get a good grade. ::facepalm::

Nice grades on those YG's.

I was wondering how they would grade those crown royale type cards. Because with crown impression on back you sometimes get a lot of bumps. That look like dings. Cards are almost all like that.

Finally slabbed the RCR I had:

Just a minimum gem, but it completes my rainbow for one young gun per year since the lockout. Although, I am tempted to upgrade my mint Stamkos YG to a gem mint. After that, I can make a YG banner for my sig if I cared to. :cool:
