I've been paying attention to this thread off and on now, I keep asking a couple questions in my head and maybe some of you know the answers.
Does anyone know the grading process at PSA or even SGC?
How many individuals are involved in grading a particular card?
Is there a QA/QC of the grade before the card is slabbed?
I've never seen an outline of the process that PSA or SGC go through in grading a card. With situations like this, when we wonder "How did that card get graded a 10?" wouldn't it be helpful to know how TPGs actually go about the process? I certainly hope that more than a single individual is involved in assigning a grade to a particular card. Wouldn't unusually high grades, like a pre-1980 Gem Mint 10 draw additional attention and scrutiny within PSA or SGC?
