Yep, even a tiny tiny smudge on the swoosh will result in a slightly lower grade than expected. This pair of Manny Pacquiao PE's (sample with sample tag)(?) was graded a 9.9/10 is virtually perfect ex

When I received these shoes for grading, I thought they looked near perfect, although worn a bit...upon closer inspection, I found a flaw that knocked the grade down to a 9 (from a 9.5) Can you spot t
