Grade this T206 please; Here is the actual grade

[Sean]

If some of you guys have a little time to kill while waiting for Adrian's next post, could you please take a look at this card and tell me what grade you think it should get? I will post its actual grade tomorrow. Thanks.

3-3.5

Great looking card Sean!

[iwantitiwinit]

Without the deep crease I'd say a 3 outside a 3.5, with that deep crease I say 2.0

[Ease]

[tiger8mush]

definitely nice eye appeal for a low grade card, but i'd guess technically a 1.5 - that crease on the left makes it look like the card has separated most of the way thru

(send it in another day and you may get a different grade, but thats beside the point)

[t206hound]

Creases (I see one on the right side as well) and corners keep it from being a 3. Should be a 2 all day long...

[CardTarget]

Solid 2.

[CMIZ5290]

2.....

[t206hound]

BTW, Adrian has posted 6 times since you started this thread and my post here...

[AMBST95]

It's going to depend on the grader, but I'd give it a 2.5. If the crease wasn't as strong, you'd get a 3.

1.5

[srs1a]

1.5

[EvilKing00]

1.5

[bn2cardz]

1.5-2 depending on how the back looks.

[smtjoy]

1.5

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I'm going to guess 1.48740913201530, but I guess you can round it up to a 1.5 if you want to be like that

Brent's right, PSA should be able to do better than measely half-point increments. I'm in the 1.5 camp.

[lharri3600]

2 WITHOUT PAPER LOSS ON BACK:confused:

[atx840]

Dang iPhone screen. Creases hmmm 2-2.5

[auggiedoggy]

Probably a 2. Not sure how it could be any higher with that deep crease. Could be as low as 1.5. :confused:

[T206Collector]

1.5 -- looks like heavy chipping on the left border, and perhaps even glue residue above the heavy crease. That level of chipping and glue could make it lower, but I think the eye appeal keeps it in 1.5 territory. Certainly no higher than a 2.0.

I also don't like the top border, but that's another story. I'm guessing you didn't get an AUT holdered.

[ZernialFan]

Would say 1.5 - 2 depending on the Back............

[Sean]

I'm sorry, but I didn't scan the back. There is no paper loss, it just has the usual staining that one expects to find on a Polar Bear.

[Eric72]

2?

[Jacklitsch]

[t206blogcom]

1 - 1.5

[Iron Horse]

I would say 2

[martindl]

Bases on PSA's grading standards write up, which I had never read until now, it should be 1.5.

[mintacular]

Bvg 4.5

[Sean]

Dang iPhone screen. Creases hmmm 2-2.5

Chris, I thought you said 3.5 just to be nice. :)

Wazoo, nice to hear from you. Where have you been? :)

Brent, don't give PSA the idea.
My next card will come back graded 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... :eek:

[Tanman7baseball]

Since I did just get my Matty back from SGC in mail today I would say it is a 2 considering I got a 3. Hope you got a 2.5 though...

[t206fix]

Brent, don't give PSA the idea.
My next card will come back graded 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... :eek:

Only a matter of time before the TPG's start offering advanced grading...

[Jacklitsch]

Steve, you're just messing with me, aren't you? :confused:

Not at all. Just basing it on long time experience with PSA grading.

Sean,

Wrong, that grade is seen only on "Pie" Traynor cards.:D

Then again your next card may be a Traynor.:eek:

Since PSA graded it, I'll go with a 6 ;)

I bought this one raw and only sent it for grading years later. I expected a 1 or at best a 2. I can't believe this grade, and it seems like all of you agree. Mind you, I'm not complaining. :p
But this is why we say "buy the card, not the holder."
Thank you to everyone who took the time to express an opinion. :)

[Marslife]

Lucky you Sean! all of my graded cards seem to go the other way for me!

[Ease]

Wow, 3.5 is surprising. Good for you Sean!

[g_vezina_c55]

Big surprise....

Not trying to piss on anyone's cornflakes but ... c'mon!!! Someone at PSA needs to give their head a shake. :confused:

I'm really starting to get annoyed at this whole 3rd party grading nonsense. I think TPG companies should just drop their grading service and just stick to card authentication.

That's it for my Friday rant.
