Wonder why the David Cooper Razor's autograph graded 9. Doesn't look to me as if his sig went outside the box.

Is that really how Beckett grades an auto? If so, that is stupid...they are stupid.

But, congrats on the 9.5 of the 2 Razor's...from all the discussion...those should see a nice premium.

Very nice slabs. Impressed to see the Elites and Razors.

I agree. It's not like they are trapped autos and part gets cut off. Very dumb.

I see a huge ink gap in the D. Are you sure that isn't why it got a 9?

The ink fades a bit, but I wouldn't call it a gap.

The auto leaving the box would NOT cause it to get a 9, as BGS only counts off if the auto leaves the card itself or leaves the sticker if it is a sticker auto.

I'm looking at the outside curve of the D. You can see a streak of white in the middle of curve. It may not be there and my monitor is the issue.....

I'll try to look at the cooper more closely at home, see what is up. I was happy getting a few 9.5s but just wish they'd been of the better guys.

If Beckett isn't counting off for the bottom of the auto touching the bottom of the autograph area...then why else would it get a 9?

There is no reason it should've got a 9...PERIOD.

Every time I think about trying grading again and getting some slabbage...I see something silly like that.

If there is in fact an ink gap, as many of my Razor autos have, it deserves a 9.

Do you mean a gap in his name where a letter isn't connected or do you mean where there is a variation in pressure and the ink is slightly lighter?

Either way...I've seen far worse autographs get a 10 and the one in this thread doesn't deserve a 9.
