But take another look.

(1) The Cody has slight rounding in the UL corner and a slight ding or small corner crease. There is discernable wear in both the UR and LR corners. Finally, both the right and left borders have some slight "foxing" or discoloration.

(2) The Roosevelt has a pronounced diamond cut. There is paper loss in the LL corner and moderate wear in the UR and UL corners.

(3) Oliva. There is discernable wear on every corner with the LL perhaps having a slight ding.


Judging a card based solely on a 72 dpi scan is difficult if not impossible (well, except for Leon). If the above documented flaws are all visible, there would certainly be a few more upon closer visual inspection. And have we even begun to consider what is on the reverse side of each? I see nothing to make me believe that the SGC grades aren't both accurate and consistent.
