Top tier Grade - Post Your Pics

autocut · Apr 17, 2010

Something a little different since most of you like BGS grading. Post pics of the cards you own that has the highest grade (ie. no one has been graded higher for that particular card). Since most are prospectors, I know a lot of Pristine 10's will be posted.

Not as off centered as the pic makes it look

Do 1/1s or ties count?

but centered enough to be perfect? LOL BGS is a joke.

Scanner is decent, but its not the secret. There is a plugin in Photoshop called "Denoise" that removes most scratches to give it a smoother look.

People having issues with their scanners should use google's picsa or picasa or whatever.

Great program. Cleaning it up is as easy as "I'm feeling lucky" + sliding the contrast.

It catalogs your photos pretty well..

Also -- Do GU cards grade a lot worse on average?

Yes, because they are known to have chipping or surface creases around GU'd area and defects. It also depends on the brand. Fleer was known for sensitive cards (easily damaged).
