Older Bowman Chromes graded by BGS?

Adamsince1981 · Jan 16, 2010

For those of you with older chromes, can you see the sweat/moisture/residue in the case?

I'm thinking about popping out a '98 due to the visible sweat...

Do PSA graded copies do the same?

Your cards are sweating Adam? Got a pic?

O, just a graded '99 Chrome I got in the mail today.

I don't know if swearing is the right term either, I just don't know how do describe it.

It's not the gold Matt, is it?! :?

I remember 97-99 chromes had some sort of film on them, and if you kept them boxed up then tried to thumb through them, they'd stick, sometimes pretty tightly. I didn't open 2000, and by 2002 I don't recall that being a problem any longer. Prolonged containment in a slab I suppose might bead up if that particular card had a lot of whatever that chemical is.

Oh shat! I'm sorry to hear that, Adam. Crap. Have you contacted the seller? For the amount that you paid for that beauty; there should be something done. Is the precipitation/moisture/sweating significant?

If you pop it open, you will potentially be losing a significant amount of money.

Honestly, it is a PC card and I could care less if it was in a soft sleave, top loader, and team bag; but the residue puddle on the card makes we really wonder.

Then pop it open, by all means. Care to share a scan?

Nah, after 5.5 years as a LCS (LMFAO) manager, this is nothing new. I've just never seen a slabbed card have such a butt ugly blob on the surface...
