1996 Leaf Signature Autographs Derek Jeter Gold BGS 4 to BGS 9.5
Alteration types: Trimming
Set Registry status: N/A
Sold on 3/11/2013 as BGS 4 by eBay seller oak753 to an unknown buyer for $1,324.00
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 6/9/2013 as a BGS 9.5 for $4,750.00
Final price: $4,750.00
Value gain: $3,426.00
Unfortunately, the image in Worthpoint of the BGS 4 is substandard, but it is sufficient to show that the back reverse edge was slightly trimmed, which is a common alteration on these '96 Leaf Signature autograph cards. Obviously other, more drastic alterations were performed by the card doctor as well, as the card's surface subgrade was raised from a "3" to a "9.5" (Very Good to Gem Mint), and its corners subgrade was bumped from an "8" to a "9.5" (Near Mint-Mint to Gem Mint). The autographs are a perfect match, so the BGS 4 and BGS 9.5 cards are without question one and the same.
Due to the short turnaround between the sale of the BGS 4 and the reselling as a BGS 9.5 in a PWCC auction (with Beckett grading inbetween), the culprit who altered this card is undoubtedly the same person or connected to the same person who purchased the BGS 4.
