Change it up: Post you low grade, high grades!
 
Posted By: <b>David Seaborn</b><p>People always post cards they feel were undergraded. We ususally don't see too many we feel were overgraded from our own personal collections. I enjoyed the last thread so I thought I would turn it around and ask people to post and comment on a low grade card they have that received a higher than deserved grade. Here's mine....I won this one a few years ago (site unseen) and was shocked at the grade, especially for SGC. Not sure how that much back damage can be considered Vg/Ex. How in the world did this get the grade it did? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4115/mayolathamf1zr.jpg"><br /><img src="http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/5269/mayolathamb1of.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>Here's an overgraded T206. Look at those SOFT SOFT corners (if you can call them corners). I blocked out the cert# because I've heard that PSA has a bad habit of decerting cards. If they don't then I'm just paranoid:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1148701371.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>Chipping, a scuff across the surface, rounded corners, and a corner crease make up this PSA 4. It has been cracked out so the grade really means nothing but is an example of a low grade card in a holder with a grade too high for its condition.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com"><img src="http://i4.tinypic.com/10rr9g6.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

Posted By: <b>steve yawitz</b><p>The grade on that Holland is generous, but I don't think it's a complete affront to hobby sensibilities. At least not as bad as that Latham.<br /><br />I know it's not a baseball card, but I just sold this one a couple of weeks ago. It was my most generously graded card (a PSA 7*) and I almost felt guilty listing it, though I was fairly honest in my description:<br /><br /><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/yawie99/C56Ross7Fdetail.jpg"><br /><br />Still a nice card, but probably only worthy of a 5.5 or marginal 6.<br /><br /><br /><br />*It had an 07XXXXXX cert number. I've never been into PSA numerology, but I remember hearing once that those certs came from on-site grading. I always suspected some surreptitious activity between the dealer who presumably submitted it and PSA.
