Elite Extra Die-Cut Grading

[prospectorgems]

Does anyone have a scan or several scans of the back of a graded Elite Extra Die Cut card?

I was looking through some of my Thornburgs last night and I was contemplating sending into grading in the next month or so and to me, the edges look a bit stripped. In fact, all of my elite die cuts look like that so I was curious what the BGS 9.5's and PSA 10's look like on the back so I can gauge the cards better. I would even be happy with a 9, but obviously don't want any lower.

Thanks in advance.

I've had personal experience grading these with BGS. Rule of thumb is, if you look along the edges, and it's smooth and see no white, chances are, the edges are 9.5. If you see tiny fuzzy white spots all along, it's a 9 or lower.

ill add a scan later on a die cut elite that was graded psa 10

i've noticed the bottom edges on most of the diecuts to be a little white and fuzzy

Thanks to the both of you. Look forward to seeing some scans. No rush on this of course.

Does BGS give out anything less than 9.5's?

I've got a scan of three 9.5 die cuts, but one is RCRed so I can't see the subgrades. I also have a scan of an RCR 9 die cut, so it should be a little worse on the bottom and top edges. The non-white borders are what you have to look out for on any card like that.

The fronts on those (all years) are usually smooth. It's the fuzzy back edges that kill the grade in most instances.

I had originally scanned these in really high resolution (1200dpi), but had to shrink the size because I couldn't get the original scan (51.1mb) to upload because of its incredible size. Hope it helps. The RCRs I obviously don't have an edges or corner subgrade on, and if you're not familiar with them (similarly to slabs) the gold tab is a gem and the silver tab is a nine.
