Good deal if it's real! I seem to shy away from those "strange" grading companies because, well, why would anyone use them unless they're trying to hide something!! I am too skeptical. That being said, I have spent $200 at the casino and lost, so I think this is a good gamble on your part. Looks pretty good from the scan! Keep us updated!!

figured it was worth the shot, i guess i can always throw it back on ebay and try to get some of my money back. i asked my buddy and he said it looked real and the seller had tons of other graded jordan rookies and autos from psa and jsa, along with a bunch of other high end items so i figured there was a good chance it was real.

im just not buying it, why would he have all of those jordan graded by psa and than one random one graded by a bogus company? I just bought a high end card from a guy that was graded by a bogus grading company and it was as fake as can be.

maybe he knew it would grade low at psa so he sent it to pro/ or maybe he bought it from someone for cheap/ im sure from his otheer items he can tell the real deal from the fake.

anybody with high end cards knows not to send it to pro...to me the fact that he does have alot of other jordans graded psa makes me question the card, he obviously knows graded lower or not he will get more if its in a psa case so why keep it in the pro case? good thing is you can send it back if you think its fake.

Yeah I probably would have passed on this one. If it is a reprint you can get your money back through paypal and if it is real then it was one heck of a deal.

I would steer clear of all PRO graded cards. They tend to make their money by slabbing trimmed and reprinted cards as genuine and then have some of their larger customers sell them on Ebay as legitimate cards.

PRO grades a lot of trimmed cards. Never buy a PRO 9 or higher. That's isn't a problem with this card. It's obviously not trimmed because there is white showing on the corners. It isn't a reprint

If anything, it's probably overgraded. Probably a 6 if submitted to PSA. You didn't get a steal, but you didn't get hosed, either
