Posted By: <b>Henry</b><p>Should I get this regraded becuase the only thing that i can see as 2 quality is the light crease? I payed 375 for this card hoping it would get a better grade but I would like to know if I over payed. <br /><br />Thankshttp://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1130196335.JPG <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1130196324.JPG">

Posted By: <b>zach</b><p>I think it may be a well presented PSA 2 but the crease is rather large and it does have corner ware. It probably has a shot at a 3. I wouldn't be too concerned about the holder as long as you like the card. Edited to add a pic of my PSA 2 Matty...it looks super good for the grade of a psa 2 IMO.<br /><img src="http://mzm55collection.com/website.jpg"> Also I saw the johnson on ebay and the crease doesn't seem too minor, it shows clearly through the back.

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>regrade no...grade is accurate. i'm not sure what a psa 2 is worth...last i sold was an sgc 50, about a month ago for 660...but that is apples and oranges.

Posted By: <b>Damian</b><p>Henry,<br /><br />That's a nice 2, but a 2 it is. When I first started getting T206's PSA'd I had similar experience. Cards that look like 4's, but when you take into consideration the card's flaws at a grass roots level it makes sense that they are the grade received. Cards with evenly rounded corners and a light crease can garner a 4. The corners on your Johnson are a bit layered and the crease is a little too heavy. I think you got a decent deal though. It's not a bargain, but you I don't think you overpaid. Thanks for posting it.<br /><br />Damian

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I think you have a shot at a 3 on a regrade if the back is clean.<br><br>Adam B

Posted By: <b>FYS</b><p>Team up with a large submitter i.e. 707 or SSS and you have a shot to come back with a 3. Assuming the back is clean.

Posted By: <b>Brian Daniels</b><p>so why not do it? Worse case they send it back( provided it gets there) in a 2 holder again!<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>FYS - <br />What's the implication of your comment about teaming up with a large submitter?

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>imo, it is a two regardless of who submits the card.<br />try it for kicks, but don't have any real expectations of a three.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>I don't believe it, though. From what I've seen of PSA, they aren't well-enough organized internally to play favorites.

Posted By: <b>sagard</b><p>Does it really make a difference what the number says on lower grade pre-war cards? It sure seems to me that you pay for the visual appeal on the card itself rather than the number on the flip with cards like this.<br /><br />
