Card score - anyone heard of it

[MrMet]

I’m gunna put this here even tho it seems it’s basketball for now. But has anyone heard of this?

They are taking 8 1986 fleer Jordan rookies that were graded 8’s and doing a crowdsource grading for them. Not sure what the point really is, but I stumbled across it and I’m intrigued...if anyone knows more, please elaborate...

I'm curious as to how it works or what it is, but I'm not going to give them my email address and phone number to find out...

Not all 8s are created equal, so a complete guess would be to look at the different cards and decide which ones have better superficial appearance. But who knows, they don't tell you anything.

Personally, I would completely stay away from it.
It could simply be a phishing scam just to get your information so they can sell it.

Do you get anything for submitting a grade or is it just to garner opinions?

It’s crowdsourced grading, I found it fun to examine the 8 different Jordan 8’s and grade them...

But this time I think they are giving $50 to the top 50 scorers...whatever makes you a top scorer I don’t know

Sounds like what a big time cards dealer is doing. Pre-war Card Collector co. PWCC vault sale or what ever they call it. https://www.pwccmarketplace.com/vault-marketplace. There's a big controversy about a lot of their cards they sell that are in PSA holders that are trimmed.

Just completed the Mantle project over the weekend...I think these are fun...

Here’s their blog

And no, I don’t get anything for promoting them or getting people to sign up, I just think it’s fun and interesting to do and see the results

I Cardscored a 1976 Topps Walter Payton PSA 4. I felt it was way undergraded. The cardscore came in as 54, or the equivalent to a PSA 5.5. They will send me a label to put on the back of my slab. $10 and it took about a week and a half.
