To me, a card that is hardly presentable would be termed "poor", or as I like to call them "piece of sh*t"... |

I think the problem arises from novices (even more than me!) when they try to judge a card’s condition. A card listed in “excellent” condition might actually be in excellent condition in that person’s mind, considering the card is almost 100 years old. Unfortunately, the card hobby does not allow for depreciation! |

I suggest you visit the websites of the top grading companies and then look in Beckett and SCD....after reviewing all of those definitions of grades you will know the standards. The other standard is the "dealer" standard. Most of the times the dealer standard is about a 1/2 grade to 3 grades high....imo....take care and good luck......ps....a fake or reprint is not graded....and is usually worthless..... |

To repeat Leon, different grading companies have different rules of grading. PSA, for instance, will grade a card as clean when there is writing on it. The grade will be modified with MK, which means it is marked. Other companies will lower the grade, typically 2 points (on the PSA scale) for marking. It makes a big difference whether this is included in the grade or not. |

Grading services are a good voice to listen to in terms of authenticty. Of course you should seek the opinion of other collectors- if you are not strictly a computer buyer!.. But you also must trust you instincts and not get caught up in grading terminology. Use the eyes God gave you and judge for yourself what is considered 'decent' condition..Bringing your questions to this forum is a major step in the right direction for your future vintage collecting.. |
