Posted By: <b>Brad Freeman</b><p>It looks like a large chunk of the lower left corner disappeared. Does that grade seem deserved from people on this Board?<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1144081832.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Brian E.</b><p>According to their own standards, a PSA 1 would may be missing one or more small pieces versus a PSA 3 that may have some rounding of the corners, though not extreme. This ia a definite example of overgrading or a blatant error on the part of the grader.<br /><br />Brian E. <br /><br /><br /><br />PSA 3: A PSA VG 3 card reveals some rounding of the corners, though not extreme. Some surface wear will be apparent, along with possible light scuffing or light scratches. Focus may be somewhat off-register and edges may exhibit noticeable wear. Much, but not all, of the card's original gloss will be lost. Borders may be somewhat yellowed and/or discolored. A crease may be visible. Printing defects are possible. Slight stain may show on obverse and wax staining on reverse may be more prominent. Centering must be 90/10 or better on the front and back.<br /><br />PSA 1: Poor to Fair A PSA PR-FR 1 card's corners will show extreme wear, possibly affecting framing of picture. Surface of card will show advanced stages of wear, including scuffing, scratching, pitting, chipping and staining. Picture will possibly be quite out-of-register and borders may have become brown and dirty. May have one or more heavy creases. A Poor card may be missing one or more small pieces, have major creasing and extreme discoloration or dirtiness throughout. Card may show noticeable warping. Centering must be 90/10 or better on the front and back.

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>Do we actually expect more out of PSA? Nothing surprises me anymore with PSA, mislabels, blatent overgrading, if they didn't have the blind followers of the PSA registry they would be in deep doodoo.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>That one is extreme. I wonder if it is a WIWAG example. I would hope PSA would want to buy that one.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>The more important question is where is the lower left hand corner? Perhaps residing in a PSA 1 slab all by itself?

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>It's got the flesh-eating disease. I was shocked when a blue stained W565 Gehrig submitted recieved a PSA 7. SGC would have likely given a 40, 50 at best.<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1144092649.JPG">
