BGS grading

Just received word that some cards I sent in to BGS are done, including a couple NPNs.

The expensive Audrey Hepburn card graded a disappointing 7.0 due to a low surface grade. I didn't notice anything, but apparently they did.

I was happy with a grade for a card that my wife pulled. A 2008 Topps Heritage Black Refractor (#/59) Jacoby Ellsbury received a 9.5! A $120 card just got a lot better.

Here are all the grades...

2007 UD Masterpieces Stroke of Genius Signatures Printing Plates Black
Ken Griffey Jr.
9.0

2007 Americana Hollywood Legends Material Super Stars *
Steve McQueen Jacket/25
9.0

2007 Americana Hollywood Legends Material Super Stars *
Audrey Hepburn Dress/25
7.0

2008 Topps Heritage Chrome Refractors Black
Jacoby Ellsbury
9.5

1992 Pro Line Profiles Autographs
Roger Staubach RET
9.0

1962 Topps
Mickey Mantle IA
3.5

9.0 and 7.0 isn't bad for free...

Major NPN mojo!!!

I can't believe the luck.

I just received a few cards from the Donruss Americana line in the mail and you aren't going to believe this! (I have a couple people that I send out for and they send me any cards - I did pay for the stamps).

The three cards:

• Cinema Stars Material card #CS-8 Ernest Borgnine - $5-10
• Hollywood Legends Materials Super Stars #HL-10 Steve McQueen (#/25) - about $50-60

and the MOJO!
• Hollywood Legends Materials Super Stars #HL-11 - Audrey Hepburn (#/25) - $300 in Beckett.

Oh yeah!
