Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Thanks!<br /><br />Looks like a probable SGC 20 because of the top corner crease,<br /><br />BUT...<br /><br />who CARES about the "technical" grade with a card as RARE as this one!!!!<br /><br />It ain't like better examples come along very often!!!<br /><br />Way to go, Leon!

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Congrats on getting a great card.<br />I'd be surprised if it did not get a 30. Great eye appeal.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I think it "deserves" a 30...<br /><br />but I just think SGC will give it a 20 because they seem to be very conservative these days when it comes to these two grading tiers.<br /><br />After all... ANY CARD in HORRIBLE condition can get a 10...<br /><br />so SGC seems to use the 20 category for all cards that are much BETTER than "beaters" but which have one fairly big flaw (like paper loss on front or a crease that breaks the surface).<br /><br />Hopefully it will get a 30.
