Are there certain issues, or vintage that have grading leeway? (See thread on T206 PSA 3). I couldn't imagine that card getting any better than a 1, or
.5 if that exists. |
There is a very big rub in grading to a lot of us in that there really isn't, and could be argued shouldn't, be much leeway with sets. To me, it seems there is some leeway given to larger cards (T3s seem to get a bit of leeway). Many folks want to see photographic cards, such as N172 Old Judge, have their grades be more weighted towards the photo and not inconsequential things such as the blank backs. So far none of the established grading companies have done that. Since grading is done by humans there will always be some mistakes made. I would say the card in the thread showing the PSA 3 T206 is probably a mistake. I think even Joe O would probably say it shouldn't be in a 3 holder.
