Before You Grade Your Card, Watch This - Ep 41

In this episode, I walk through a card that I believed was in outstanding condition and a strong grading candidate. To better understand what grade it might receive, I purchased an already graded copy of the same card and compared the two side by side. By carefully examining both cards, I found evidence that my card had been altered. In this video, I show the clues that led me to that conclusion and explain what collectors should look for when evaluating their own cards. Whether you’re considering submitting cards for grading, buying raw vintage cards, or simply learning more about card condition, this real-life example may help you avoid a mistake. ⚾ In this episode:• Comparing raw and graded cards• Identifying a specific type of altered baseball card• What to look for before grading• Card trimming and alteration warning signs• Vintage baseball card collecting lessons• Real collector experience and hobby education Have you ever discovered a card in your collection that wasn’t what you thought it was?
