Do Razor Metal Cards Have Protective Film?

Jaypers · Apr 13, 2009

I honestly can't tell. I've inspected the sides of the cards closely using my loupe, and can't honestly see a way to "peel" them (if in fact they do exist) without damaging the cards. They could very well exist, but if so, they must be incredibly thin.

I've tried using my thumb on the corners in an attempt to peel it, without success.

Can anyone confirm they in fact do exist? If so, how does one peel it?

I don't believe there was any that I could peel off on mine. I'll check again when i get back to my room later tonight

I'll definitely be curious to see if they really can "peel" because it seems from almost every scan that the surface appears marred, either slightly or far worse.

All 5 of my Gordon Beckham Blues did have the film. I started a thread about it when the were received. I peeled the best two and submitted them for grading. The other 3 were too O/C so I left the film on. You can easily tell if the film is on them. They are very "cloudy" looking. They peel off very easily as well.

Guess I don't own any, then. I own several Blues as well.

Wonder what percentage of the print run has them.

Out of the 50 or so Blues that I bought they are the only ones that have the film. I haven't heard anyone else say that they have them as well.

Why would the film be left on some but not others?

I was happy because the Beckhams surface were excellent because of obvious reasons. Just which a few others had them. Maybe just a QC thing? They forgot to remove them?

How about the base Metals? Any word on those?

Once again, I see no evidence of film on any of mine.

The day before I left for vacation I posted my Razor Metal base mailday. Over half of my cards had terrible surfaces. So I contacted Brian and he said that it appeared that I hadn't removed the protective film. But I see nothing to peel.

They weren't on mine. I sent my four base metals with the FCB group sub just as an experiment to see how BGS is grading them. Im hoping the next BGS deal is a decent one so I can send the blues in

None of the Base Metals had the coating. Just the Beckham Blues I bought. Hmmmmmm

200lbhockeyplayer · Apr 13, 2009

This is bizarre.

So only a small percentage of these cards have a protective film? And this was unannounced to anyone that purchased them?

At least they are consistently inconsistent.

Hey Jaypers! I was going back through my base metal cards and I mis-spoke. I actually have a Wieters that had the film on it. I am currently going through all my base and re-checking them.

Weird stuff.

I wonder if those with the film on might garner any sort of premium.

I would think if it keeps the surface clean enough to grade out as a Gem without the film the value would be there?

I dont think they would....i think the only way they would get a premium is if the seller said there was a film on it, he pulled it off, and then in the scan you saw that the surface was flawless
