Description: 2006 Ace Authentic Center Court Stars AUTO RAFAEL NADAL BGS 8.5 AUTO 10BGS 8.5 NM-MT+ AUTO 10 I actually had this card graded myself at the National Convention outside of Chicago last year. I was convinced that I would get a high grade on this one. While I was mostly right, I was definitely surprised that the surface subgrade received an 8. That unfortunately made the card an 8.5 instead of what I thought would be a 9! I have no idea how they came to that conclusion but that is the grade. I would stress that the AUTO grade received a 10! This is an absolutely gorgeous card of the new grand slam leader!! ******* LISTING BUYER CONDITIONS********* YOU MUST HAVE A BUYER FEEDBACK ABOVE 25 - I DON'T WANT ANY GAMES ON THIS ONE YOU MUST ALLOW THE TRANSACTION TO GO THROUGH THE FREE EBAY AUTHENTICATION PROCESS. WHILE THIS CARD IS ALREADY GRADED, THIS STEP WILL VERIFY THE SLAB. WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO SKIP THIS STEP WOULD SEND MAJOR NEGATIVE SIGNALS! ADDITIONAL FREE AUTHENTICATION IS BEST FOR BOTH THE BUYER AND SELLER!! I'VE HAD CARDS ALREADY GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND I WISH IT WERE AROUND LAST YEAR, I WOULD HAVE LISTED MANY MORE EXPENSIVE CARDS.***********************************************************************************************************Thankfully, we seem to be seeing the late innings of the Pandemic. I’m glad to say that my parcels are moving along much better, even in the last few weeks. With that being said, there are occasional delays and would ask buyers to be patient as their items work their way through the system. Obviously, once parcels are dropped off at USPS there isn’t a whole lot I can do. If you are one who wants to complain about the occasional delays, PLEASE DO NOT BUY. I would stress that things are much better than even a month or two ago, so I remain hopeful that buyers get their items in acceptable time periods. I typically ship twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Please review the pic for condition. There are no returns so please be happy with the cards and buy when you are absolutely sure you want the cards. Thanks for looking! SHIPPING: shipping costs are NOT just postage. They include postage, insurance (as the packages get over $50 I add Shipcover on First Class shipments, and USPS insurance on Priority shipments), bubble mailers, boxes, ebay invoice costs (ebay also takes 12% of shipping total), labels and packing materials. My shipping total for each item will reflect these costs and, in many instances, I lose money. However, if you still disagree with how I arrived at the shipping total PLEASE DO NOT BUY. Most buyers are decent and understanding, however there are a terrible few who want to re-litigate shipping AFTER they agreed to my terms, receive a great card, and I did everything as promised on my end. That is not acceptable and those buyers will be blocked from future purchases. COMBINED SHIPPING: Combined shipping is available at 1.50 for each addl item. Whether you combine with a large card lot, or a very expensive card, or a cheap PWE card. Each item will be combined at 1.50 regardless. This makes it easy to pay right away and less confusing for buyer. Sometimes I benefit, many times I lose. Let’s not argue about nickels and dimes. If you disagree, I understand, but PLEASE DO NOT BUY. IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A CARD WITH THE EBAY AUTHENTICY BADGE, IT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANYTHING. THEY MUST BE SENT INDIVIDUALLY (I do not control this) YOU MUST WAIT FOR A COMBINED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. If buyer pays before receiving invoice, I will not refund any shipping totals. Too time consuming (if it has not been automatically done). FEEDBACK: I always appreciate if the buyer takes a few moments and leaves positive feedback. eBay makes it quite easy to do so. I will ALWAYS reciprocate, usually within 24 hours. Unfortunately, I used to leave positive feedback first and it was only reciprocated by the buyer at a 10-15% clip. Buyers cannot get “negatives” and frankly, eBay is driven by seller feedback. Most buyers understand this once is explained (which is why I have added this feedback section). I am receiving feedback at 40-50% of completed sales. Hopefully this explanation will increase my percentage further.
