Guess the Grades Contest!! Contest Giveaway!

RookieFan15 · 08-28-2012, 08:48 PM

I have seen a couple of these before. Looked around and did not find any particular rules for a contest.

Today I submitted 8 cards to BGS for grading. It is the 5 business day service. 4 of them were Basketball and I posted front and back scans below. Guess the grade, 4 subgrades, and autograph grade. Contest will be over when cards arrive to me and I will post scans of the final grades. Closest guess to the final grades wins, tiebreaker will be the subgrades and after that will be the autograph grade. I will send the winner some cards of their favorite team or player. Wish me luck on the grades!

I was wondering what do they take into consideration when grading the auto? Like on the finest Rondo, its seems like the auto is off center but it is clean and all on sticker. By looking at 10's across the boards so far in the thread it would seem it doesnt. I've never sent a card be graded or owned a graded card. So just curious.

Nice cards btw!

Auto grades are 10 if they are skip free, bubble free, all on card (or sticker) without going off the edge of the card or sticker.

There are exceptions where some cards get 10 autos by mistake

The cards have arrived and I will post pictures soon.

The Dual was 9/10, MJ 9, Finest 9/10, Ultimate 9.5/10

Since no one got all 4 grades correct
EMD34 was the closest being the only one to get two grades correct so he is the winner. PM me and I will send you a small gift.

Thanks for everyone who joined!
