That payton grade is huge, congrats. You gonna hold onto it or sell?

^ I agree, if your card would be a "10 Perfect", they should definitely contact you and give you that information and choice to add subs...it would be prestigious for them to have a known perfect card in a csg holder, as well as benefit the customer of course.

This is from the FAQ page here at csg "...the final grade can be no more than 1 point higher than the lowest sub-grade. In addition, if the two lowest sub-grades are the same, then that is the final grade for the card."

The only grade you can't get without subs should just be "10 Perfect". No reason you couldn't get 9.5

If centering was 6, the highest grade the card could get is 7...it's not an average. A 6 isn't completely horrendous centering, if they're really off center, could be lower. Posting pics of a couple would help.

I think the area above the card is just too tall, it's almost 1/3 of the total holder size. Should be compressed down so the card is featured more. Keep all the info, just reduce font size if necessary. The overall grade could stay the same size, but make the subs and card description smaller to reduce that area. edit: I do like the look of the label, just the size is borderline absurd.

I think some degree of customization options would be popular with people and no real reason not to offer it. I'm sure it will be a while before csg and other grading companies can get out of the backlog they are facing and focus on innovating like that. HGA does offer quite a few label choices, I think others will follow eventually with options.

In the dropdown for manufacturer, when Hoops isn't there, click the "Add New" button and add Hoops

That's kind of bad they wouldn't even elaborate on it. Did you store the card in any way that may have flattened or warped the card, like a screw down holder that didn't have a recessed area for the card? That can sometimes cause an EV Altered I believe. How was it kept?

I believe you've only paid for them to ship it back to you via FedEx. It's still on you to package it up and ship the cards to them by whichever means you choose. Could be FedEx, UPS, USPS, whatever you want.

Ok, then just one more question...is the basketball on the back side at the lower right that says "NBA Players" have lines in it like basketball seams or is it solid, looks kind of solid from the picture, but hard to see for sure.

Might just be the quality of the pics, but I see a couple concerning things about the jordan...although if you got it before their championships I can't imagine there being any fakes back then. But that arrow under the fleer logo almost looks the same yellow as the yellow behind the "premier" text right next to it, which is not good. Should be significantly darker, golden. But, again, may just be the pic quality and lighting.
