I know I grabbed your attention...
Sorry in advance for the utterly horrifying quality of scans.
So I struck "gold" with BGS on my most recent submission. I spent a year accumulating cards (10-11 from wax, everything else mostly eBay) and selecting (agonizing!) over the candidates. It paid off. Of 30 cards submitted, 24 came back 9.5. Here's a sampling of my faves:
"The Big 4" - some in multiples.

PC in BGS 9.5 is always exciting. Niemi rookie cards are my primary PC and then, of course, the Leafs. Also - 2 of several 05-06 Future Watch 9.5s. Oh, and the Niemi is the only 9.5 out there!

Very cool Crosby card that I pulled out of a reasonably priced box.

2 tough 9.5s.

And, of course, Mr. Kessel.

Hope you enjoyed! And if not, here's that Taylor Hall I was talking about. I "pulled" it out of a Mac's (I asked! I swear...)

Does this qualify as a rookie card?
