t206 backs and grading

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>joey</b><p>I have several t206 cards that have excellent fronts and great backs other than some small areas of paper loss from tape removal (other owner). I do not intend to sell these cards, but would like to get them graded and have as high of grade as possible. Which company assigns more weight to the backs. From what I have seen SGC seems to put more weight on the back than PSA does. It seems like for the higher grade I might want to consider PSA. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>i'm sorry to say that my experience is pretty much the same as Andy's.<br />i've had fronts look like 6 or better still come back<br />as 2's. let me add that's with SGC. GAI has been a little bit easier on occasion--getting a 2.5.<br />I don't use PSA.<br />you may want to do a search on this since we've discussed<br />it here and there already.<br /><br />best of luck,<br />barry<br /><br /><br />
