Posted By: <b>V117Collector</b><p><br /><br />I was thinking I would receive a 50 on this card!<img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/25BillMackechnie.jpg"> <br /><br />I just sold this card below, same grade!(what do you think now?)<br /><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/Sale%20or%20Trade/ebaym.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br />No creases four sharp corners w/ some Ice cream on it (what would you grade it?) I'll post the grade later....<br /><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/1924%20Crescent%20Ice%20Cream/NormGoodall_f.jpg"> <img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/1924%20Crescent%20Ice%20Cream/cb5.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>It's best to think of it in terms of a pyramid -- Perfectly Mint cards will all look the same, but the further down the scale you get, the more reasons exist for a card to be a lesser grade. So, it stands to reason that all SGC 40/VG/3's will not look alike. In fact, many will be more pleasing to the eye than others upon first glance or in a scan, especially when an otherwise mint card has a back crease that is not noticeable from the front. Such a card would be graded a VG -- as would a card without any creases, but heavy wear on the corners and staining. Would those two cards look alike? No. But they are both VG 3. <br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bill K</b><p>No matter the grade that is a great looking McKechnie! Paul is dead on the grading of VG to EX cards. Many 40/3 look better than their grade, and many look worse. Either way it's a nice card.<br /><br />My educated guess on the Goodall would be SGC20.<br /><br />Is it possible to lick the icecream off and get it regraded? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Bill<br><br>My personal collection - <a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f176/fkm_bky/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f176/fkm_bky/</a>

I'm guessing it was a SGC 20 due to paper loss.<br /><br />Also, since you periodically e-mail me, asking if I'd sell any of my Maple Crispettes, I am posting this one here to cause wanton card lust to drive up the price should I need to sell it down the road.</font><br /><br /><img src="http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/2784/maplemckenchie6ri.jpg"><br /><br /><font color=blue>Edited to add: Here's two SGC 40's of mine from that same set with much different eye-appeal as well.</font><br /><br /><img src="http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/3613/maplesewell5hd.jpg"><br /><img src="http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/6833/mapleschalk6ve.jpg"><br /><br />DavidVargha@hotmail.com

Posted By: <b>V117Collector</b><p>There is no paper loss on the card, it's just a Ice Cream stain.<br /><br />David, <br /><br />"pre-soaking in distilled water?" Please explain the full procedure and wouldn't the card be consider altered? and no I'm not think of doing it!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/1924%20Crescent%20Ice%20Cream/NormGoodall_10.jpg"><br /><br />My Crescent page:<br /><a href="http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/1924%20Crescent%20Ice%20Cream/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/MapleCrispetteV117/1924%20Crescent%20Ice%20Cream/</a>

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I've been impressed with Brad's persistence in hunting these down. He picked a great set to collect. Here's one of my favorites:<br /><br /><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e195/pgisme/cobbv117.jpg">

Posted By: <b>David Vargha</b><p><font color=blue>Some consider it alteration. I don't and most people don't (including PSA and SGC), but there's at least one thread on it somewhere here. The key is to properly dry and press it afterwards.</font><br><br>DavidVargha@hotmail.com
