beckham red ref arrived, what to do?

[quote="boxbreaker44":244i5bph]Resub it.

....and try to do it at a show where BGS is set up, if possible. It's commonly known BGS is more generous with grading at shows.

Depends at what show and what graders show up.

And this is why I don't grade cards.Nor do I buy them graded.Only authenticated for the most part.If its a 9 then its a 9.They should not vary.Human error is why I do not do the whole graded thing.

There's always going to be human influence. It's kind of the same thing with college and school, what one teacher see's as a A is only a B to another teacher. Yes they have standards that they fall into, but variance exists.

Of course there will be human influence. Anyone who grades recognizes this, and accepts it.

If anyone can find a flawless, perfectly objective way to grade cards, let me know.[/quote:244i5bph]


So why let human error decide what the grade of your card is?Why would you pay a premium for it?There is no way to have anyone flawlessly and objectively grade stuff.There just isn't.So that said...why would you want it done?Seems like a waste of time to me.Especially considering that people can resubmit for a sub bump or that certain people may get better grades on their stuff than others.Just makes it all seem more and more worthless.About the only thing its good for is to settle authentication questions.Thats it.

If anyone comes up with an actual reason to buy graded besides making a profit...let me know.

Pretty sure since there are only 5 of them, BGS knows what the Beckham 1/5 already got. I don't think re-subbing it will help.

People re-submit cards in BGS holders...and they do it as many times as it takes.

I couldn't sleep last night and this thread didn't help.

first - the op confused everyone who read it.
second - I want that card at that price

i posted it as i think it was the first bgs 08 bdp card to hit ebay, and bumped it once or twice.

I personally ignored the card because when I first looked at it his BIN was 1,250 or something close to that...

I would have paid $505...I would have cracked it out.

If he gets hot it won't matter...I'd personally crack it out, but that could end badly...and resubmission costs may add up and there is no guarantee.

actually in some of my talks with bouwob we were talking about grading and he said that very thing.


MAYBE WE CAN HAVE ROBOTS DO IT!?!?!


Brilliant

I bet robots + computers could quantify the amount of pixels to determine centering. Surface could be determined by light refraction measurements. Corners and edges could be divided into percentage ratings of each area of the card to the point that each imperfection fray etc would be measurable.
