Guess the Grades Contest!! Contest Giveaway!

RookieFan15 · 08-28-2012, 09:15 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. 2 of them were Baseball 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!
