Here’s a card that I was sad to let go… The classic 2008 Topps chrome Kobe Bryan Bryant with LeBron James defending him. This is an xfractor that was great in gem mint BGS 9.5 grade.… But look at those sub grades! With two 10s, I often considered cracking and sending it to PSA or sending it to BGS for a possible .5 bump to a BGS 10 label. In the end, I ended up trading it as part of a package to get a much bigger card in part to consolidate some of my collection. I still miss this one though, it’s such an iconic card!

Okay, this is my second best Star Co. Jordan card. Yes, this is his second year Star (still an XRC as it is pre-1986 Fleer Jordan “rookie“), and this is still an amazing card! With these red borders, and centering always at a premium, these are very difficult to find in gem mint grade. My best star company Jordan card is one that is autographed, but this is still in the top few cards in my collection.

One of my favorite sets from 2015! I love the acetate look. Is there a favorite product YOU have from 2015?

Green color match BGS 9.5 Durant Topps Finest rookie refractor!

Here is the question. With subs of 10/10/9.5/9.5 is it worth a Beckett review to see if this can bump by 0.5 to get to a BGS 10 pristine?! Has anyone had any luck doing that?!

Check out this INSANE Topps Finest RPA /35. The subgrades on this thing are great. I may cross this over to SGC at some point.
