Graded Goodness

[Coolidgee]

So I've been re-focussing my collection of late and chasing just Dogs signature cards (plus a few bits and pieces I like). The aim is to get every Dogs signature card graded. I've been slowly working my way through sending off a few each month. I will post a picture of all of them soon. In the meantime I was pretty happy with this lot that came back today.

I saw a 29 on an older card. Lowest I have had was an 81. My experience so far is the quality of the select cards far exceeds ESP straight out of the pack.

what card had the 81?

Josh Jackson Young Gun. Also had a Ben Barba LS grade 89 straight from the pack to a one-touch and into the mail to get graded. A lot of surface scratches and centring issues with ESP cards so far. Not all of them though as I have seen some good ones too. Hopefully QC improves

ok so thats what i should look at before sending in any sigs, thanks mate

 

[Coolidgee]

That said, 81 is not a disaster either!

 

[troy titans douglas]

yeah thats true what does 81 come under?

Very nice.
Is there any guideline or restriction on how you can send the cards into CGA?
Are they ok taking them out of sleeve and top loader if you send them in that way?

My first submission was in sleeves and top loaders. Since then I have gone with magnetic one touches tightly wrapped in bubble wrap and in a postage box. I think either way is fine mate.

You can get a box and holders for graded cards, a tad pricey though

They come back from CGA in a sleeve already so I haven't needed any yet. Good to know they are out there though
