Sorry to interrupt this thread with a scan.
PSA. Aren't they the guys we trust to detect evidence of trimming?
Are there specific written criteria, invariable from day to day, which the PSA graders will use to differentiate 8s from 8.5s?
Or do they just wing it?
Seems like a pretty small distinction to make.
Can the difference between an 8 and an 8.5 of the same card be seen by looking at scans? Can the difference be seen in an auction catalog? Can the difference be seen inside the holder? Can the difference be seen outside the holder? Are these distinctions worth paying for?
Can these tiny distinctions be trusted when other more easily detectable differences are sometimes missed?
Each to his own, I guess.
