Some people who submit cards spend a lot of time examining them to ensure they are only subbing the most pristine of cardboard. They will accept nothing less than a 9/10 and that's cool -- I respect collectors who only desire high-grade items in their various collections and/or inventory. If I like a card enough and the deal is right, the grade/condition is fairly irrelevant. I do enjoy my modern to look nicer as in theory it should, but I don't put a ton of time into any card I submit to grade.
The 2011 Topps Update Legends SPs are really awesome and this Babe Ruth as a pitcher on the Red Sox offering is very pretty.
