Sometimes when scrolling on ebay and the pictures are small....

PSA 6s look like 8 on the smaller pictures..and i also see a 'mt' and not a 'nm' and have to take a double take that the card is a 6 and not an 8

If a 8 is NM to MT..and a 7 is NM

shouldnt a 6 be EX to NM...and not EX to MT. Doesnt it stand to reason that EX-NM woudl be a better indicator for a psa 6..?

just wondering as my eyes are getting bad and i see a blurry 8 and a 'MT'..and i have to take a double take to determine its a 6..and not an 8 ... if it said NM... i make no double take...

maybe im the only one with this train of thought but hey its watercooler talk...dont hate the player..

Tradition. EX MT has been around forever.

SGC grades with EX-NM (6) not sure why PSA doesn't.
