2010 Bowman Red Strasburg 1/1 AUTO Up For Auction.....BGS 9

RiceLynnEvans75 · Jul 11, 2010

OK, I'm sorry but I'm not REALLY familiar with BGS other than what I did with them about 10 years ago and reading about the BGS 9.5 superfractor. However, if I'm to go based only on this photo, I would have to disagree with the grade on this card as well.

If that's a 9, then there are going to be a lot of resubmissions to Beckett (unless that's their idea).

Good to see it listed through a real auction house though, to help remove the bogus bids.

I was just amazed at all the white I saw on the corners/edges that I didn't think they deserved that high of a grade. Eh, whatever. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

That black background really highlights the edges/corners in a exaggerated way. Having said that, it did get a 8.5 on the corners...

Personally, I think it's spot on. But at the very least, much better grading than the super.

My only concern is what they are going to do to get the proper advertisment...?

i would personally of just got it authenticated.....

Love how it only got a 9 with 8.5 corners..... I would be suprised if this tops 20K an even 15K would be surprising.

I'm sure they'll be advertising it heavily in the hobby mags and what not. Who knows, even ESPN and the mainstream press might get involved (I'm sure that's what H&S is hoping for).

I'm just glad to see H&S with an item like that, as it helps to legitimize modern card sales through auction houses. H&S was the first to embrace them, and I'm glad to see it work for them. I really think they are my favorite auction house at this point.

Sean,

I really appreciate it! This is only the the tip of the iceberg for us right now with modern cards. We have some great things in store for our September auction.

Already another thread on card in this auction somewhere on here.

BGS grading is pretty much gone to crap. The super has entire frayed edge and poor centering and it gets 9.5

The red has 4 white corners and still gets a 9.

I guess it's good for business. Seems everybody on this site is submitting 2010 chrome cards and gems are getting handed out left right. 9.5's are a dime a dozen nowadays.

In case you didn't know, people that are willing to drop 20K on a card generally look pretty damn hard to get that card.

I know whenever I want something I never stop looking and if something good surfaces, people find a way to tell me about it. I'm not really talking about cards, but you get the point.
