I wonder if these cards were sent to Becketts grading services,would they get the same classification with them.I don,t think so.

Probably more their grading ratings/system that is out of whack rather than the actual gradings as most are only around 60
Absolutely pathetic Grading. If i was to ever think of using CGA, definately not now. Some of these cards have creases in them, not to mention damaged. Conflict of interest at its best. Fair - Good condition at best. I would never buy a card graded by them, as it is obvious they are shonky as hell.

I know Craig quite well.Very well respected person.It,s not a shonky business.He puts a lot of time and effort into his grading business,as well as the other business he runs.He was at the last collector,s fair at Panthers,he had people lined up viewing his cards,and the feedback was very promising.You don,t have to get your cards graded by him,but please don,t bag a person you know totally nothing about.

I’m sure he’s a nice bloke, but when you grade cards like that you have to accept the criticism that comes with it.. we all know they are not even close to NM and certainly aren’t excellent either. The numbers might be closer but still higher than they should be but the EX/NM is crazy..

That card is fair at best..

I was offended by the statement shonky.
They are shit mate. Come on be real. Have a good look at those cards and tell me otherwise.
Regardless of the fact they are graded $895 for a team set that is in averages condition at best is a hell of an expensive set.IMO
You are best off letting him know that being shonky is NOT a good business practice.

Fair at best for that maze is about right, the only thing it has got going for it is good colours.That card is fair at best..
I have thrown cards like that in the bin.

I have an uncut sheet , I wonder what that would be graded at, Im rich, yeah.
I think what we have established is just because it is graded doesn't mean it makes you rich......probably poorer in fact at over $10 a card.
I would suggest that grading isn't overly popular in the NRL trading card world and would add no value to resale ( unless GEM MINT).
I'm not sure why having a crease on the card makes it Shonky. If the said card was graded GEM MINT and had a score of 99.9 then I would agree but that is not the case it has been scored very low.
It appears as if the scaling for the grade applied doesn't match your expectation as @bigrob2307 has suggested it does seem that their scaling is different from other companies and out of whack but that doesn't make the business or the individual Shonky. If they consistently apply the same scale to every card it just make them different not Shonky.

well put Ross,
I personally hate grading systems full stop.If you see pictures of a card or you can see it with your own eyes and you are happy to pay whatever the figure is to obtain that card, then why grade it anyway.
Everyones opinion of mint and average and poor are different.
I have been sent cards from a few newbies on here, their opinion was as close to mint.
When I got them I was so pissed off, I let them know.
