BGS True Gem, Non-Shiny Topps Chrome/Prizm Rookie Card Thread

ThoseBackPages · 02-19-2015, 02:01 AM

Now i know that graded cards are not for everyone, and thats A-OK, but i love them!

When it comes to BGS, my OCD takes it to the next level. Have to have all subs of at least 9.5 for my "GOLD LABELS", thats just how i roll. These are not as easy to locate as one may think, until you hunt them down and realize they are not as plentiful as Golds with a 9 sub-grade.

As always, Thanks For Reading

First up, a pair of young stars from the last Topps Chrome Base Set

Next up, some youngsters that unfortunately do not have Topps Chrome or Prizm Base Rookie Cards:

Im so like you.. Gotta have all 9.5+ subs.. I made up the term true BGS 9.5

Just like how we say true rookie card

I cant stand when something like the centering is 9.0

bkcardcollector · 02-19-2015, 03:43 AM

yup. I approve. Love that last year of topps chrome. Got a pair of derozan refractor 9.5 myself but they are not "true" 9.5

Added this to my collection today

Not to argue - I love them too - but I'd rather have a 10/9/10/9.5. But all 9.5s are probably easier to come by.

sportscardmania · 02-28-2015, 05:49 PM

I don't care about that. When I first started collecting BGS when they first started grading cards, they were very strict, and I would only get subs for 1980's and early 1990's cards of 9.5,9,9,9 and for 1970's cards subs like 9,9.5,9.5,8 or 8.5,9,9.5,8.5 like that. I only seem to have these 2 in all 9.5 subs for Topps Chrome Basketball...

Always love the look of quad 9.5 subs on a BGS flip. Great cards & congrats on the grades.

Definitely agree on the BGS/high-subs preference.

Sooooo glad I got this baby back before prices spiked.

Had a good weekend!

hazenuts · 03-02-2015, 12:30 AM

very nicely done with your latest addition of Lebron, TMac and Lillard!

I usually collect Topps/Finest RC refractor, but I do have one base RC that is high grade

Beavers98 · 03-02-2015, 11:13 AM

GOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD!!!

Seriously though those BGS 9.5's look really sweet!!

RYBOWSKI97 · 03-23-2015, 02:54 PM
