The Finest Pun

When I see a card I need pop up with a bad grade, I consider not purchasing it.

I put a feeler bid in for it anyway...

And ended up winning this 2011 Topps Finest Gold refractor for $14 shipped.

It's still mint and the subs suggest that it has potential to be upgraded to a 9.5 since it got 2x9.5s and 2x9s.

A gold label would have looked a lot better with this gold refractor instead of the silver label.

    Nice! Do you buy a lot of graded Cutch cards?

    I sometimes use the lower grades as a nice way to get a discount on an expensive card. I've bought a few 8's over the years and popped those suckers right out of their silver coffin. Very liberating experience.

    I recently picked up a graded card with a low grade... but I knew from the moment I bid on it that I'd pop it out if I won the auction.

    I don't always believe the grade sometimes. I have a couple of griffeys I see no flaws with that are 7s
