Looks a little uncentered, but otherwise yes! I would get it graded, I just like the look of chrome autos in the BGS case

You want to grade for flipping or protection?MallCopKJ said:techboy42004 said:Looks a little uncentered, but otherwise yes! I would get it graded, I just like the look of chrome autos in the BGS case
This is true, they do look very nice. Im hoping BGS will be doing one of my local shows soon.
Center isn't a "little" uncut.
Probably a 8.5 at best. IMO.

It's shame that most of Taillon's cards of any color are off center.

I was hoping it might get a 9 on centering but yeah, that might be stretching it. The rest of the card looks like 9.5.

I find the base chromes to be well centered. If you're wanting the grade to help you make extra money on the card, you'd be wasting your money by grading it. That centering will never let the card get above a 9, and that's if you're lucky.

You see the occasional card centered like that sneak into a 9.5 but would most likley get a 9 overall. Still would add some premium to it, considering all of them are centered like that.

No a 9 wouldn't hurt value. It wouldn't add any in most cases either.MallCopKJ said:
Most 9's sell the same as raw.
What's what my first question was geared towards.

Agreed, BGS9 or PSA9 would yield about the same as raw. Save your grading fees and sell when ready would be my choice.
edit--also I pay less for O/C items due to eye appeal.

Yeah that's definitely a great card, just not grade-worthy due to the centering. There's nothing wrong with that though, it doesn't take anything away from the fact that it's one of Taillon's best parallels of his best rookie card.

Thanks man. Is it common for a guys entire parallel run to have centering issues? How exactly does that happen.

I would grade it if the rest of the card is sharp.. I think you will 9.5 it

Yeah it seems like most of the time a certain run of a card will either be (mostly) centered or (mostly) off-centered. I'm no expert on the card manufacturing process, but I'd imagine this is because the sheet of cards ends up slightly out of line when it goes through the cutting machines. When there are only 25 or 50 copies of the card, I think they fit on one sheet, which means the entire run will be affected...whereas a run of base or refractor autos (500+ copies of the card) they need multiple sheets and some may end up going into the cutting process more precisely than others, resulting in the difference centering.

Thats a shame. Too bad they dont employ someone to watch the cards being cut to ensure their aligned.
