This just goes to show that when you are buying graded cards you should still acutally look at the card yourself and sum up is it actually worthy of the grade. Its easy to ge burnt and vise versa Ive bought some in the past smartly and re submitted to get higher grades.
My beef with the latest grader is that all three are given the same grade but in hand all three vary in conditon what I think pretty damatically. I'd say the centering on the Barkley knocked it down the the same grade as the Ewing despite it having much better corners and edges.
The Hondo I honestly thought would come back a 6 or so so i'm happy with that as its a really condition sensitive set being thin stickers, black and prone to chipping and centering issues. A psa 8 would of been a huge $'s windfall seeing I picked it up raw cheaply. Paid $5 for the Ewing raw too so it was worth a shot with the $5 grading deal. The Barkley was a gift from Mavs and much appreciated :-D
What do you think? All worthy of the same grade or just a grader going "yeah 7, yeah 7, yeah 7" :roll:
The scans don't show a lot of it but you can see some small differences.
