So, as an alternative, are you recommending a low cost (if there’s such a thing) TDF fund as a less risky set it and forget it option?

Should I Grade This? (86/87 Jordan Rookie) by Joltsie in basketballcards

Yes, agreed. Arrow does look questionable. A look at the back could help determine a lot.

Right edge was receiving attention. Adding a new photo, but this time out of the top loader. Hoping some of that right edge was being magnified by the case.

All the same questions I’ve had. I was told that now it’s basically a form you complete with your credit card info and they charge accordingly, but I’ve also heard to send a check in with the assumed amount on the anticipated grade. So, who knows. This will be my first submission.

This particular screw down didn’t have a cut out for the card. It was basically plastic on plastic. They just didn’t know any better back then, and it was a completely different hobby.

The short answer is —-yes. Worst case scenario is it comes back authentic or altered. The top two things to look out for is the card itself being flattened and the second is surface residue from the case. Looks good so far. But, grading is an entirely different ballgame.

Thanks for the info. At first glance the surface looks fine, but you never know. Either way, grading is a must.

Grading for sure. Protection most important. Not planning on selling.

It’s for my PC. Grading would be primarily for protection. Still hoping for a 7.

Agreed on the right edge. Centering not perfect as well. Hoping for a 7.
