Looks like this would grade numerically with PSA or SGC?

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Curious on opinions on this crossing into a numerical holder for either company....if so...which one is the better odds? And...no, I don't know yet what is going on with the eyes...don't have it in hand yet. <br /><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/matf.jpg">

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>I think it is graded right on the money. PSA and SGC would give it the same grade. The eyes appear to have been scratched out.

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>I think you got it for a great price even though the eyes look to be scratched out. PSA only has 7 graded with nothing above a 4.<br /><br />It would get a PSA 1 or SGC 10. I would cross if i were you.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>My big concern was if the eyes are scratched out or whited out or whatever...that it would indeed still get in a numerical holder (10) or (1)...I thought at times defacing a card was an automatic authentic and not holdered...am I wrong about that?

Posted By: <b>Bobby Binder</b><p>Dave,<br /><br />GAI is a legitimate grading company and they have done a good job lately since they tightened up. Matter of fact I have been noticing that their cards are starting to sell for more money now then in the past. Don't know if we should start trusting the new slabs and proceed with caution in regards to the old ones.

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>I have seen SGC and PSA graded cards that were clipped at one or more corners and still got a 1. So if they don't call that defacing a card then i don't know what to call it.<br />

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>It looks to me like the card either has a very heavy corner crease going through the player's name or the cards was actually in two pieces and reattached or is being held together by glue/tape. If that is the case, they will not give it a numerical grade it at all. Hope it's not........

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Phil-<br />I am hopeful the card is in one piece. I haven't ever dealt with E106's before so I'm not sure how thick the paperstock is and if a crease that bad is typical to look that heavy and not have the card seperate...if it is glued or taped together GAI really messed up putting it in the 1 holder.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>From the scan I think it's just a very heavy crease. E106's are quite thick.....and there is no visual evidence of tape....times have changed...I paid $305 for this Matty about 4-5 years ago....<br /><br /><img src="http://luckeycards.com/pe106mattyandwiltse.jpg">
