I'm not a T206 expert, but I might have expected better top to bottom centering for a 10.

"4.5" if I'd submitted it. Or "A".

If you enlarge the upper right corner, it looks angled or something.

Should not be higher than an 8 with that top to bottom centering.
Ridiculous that this got slabbed a 10 |

I cannot afford it. I do not know T206s well either so with those disclosures my worthless opinion is that it is not a 10. I see what appears to be a tobacco stain too. My hunch is that if taken out of the holder it would not come back as a 10 the next time. If it were my card however I would not see any of the flaws we have pointed out.
In a perfect world I think I would prefer to buy a card that I feel would grade the same way if submitted again. I know not all collectors, especially those at the top of the food chain, care about that.

Regardless, there are worse 10s in the auction than even this one. Remmeber, a lot of these cards come from the Harris collection.

psa 10 ?

I saw these so called 10s. No way. The Germany Shaffer is 60/40 side to side. Someone paid for this. I have lots of perfectly good cards off center. Why don't they rate a 10 ? |

I think some of the cards with low cert numbers are suspect
when it comes to trimming and minimum size requirements. McGraw PSA.jpg McGraw PSA - Copy.jpg |

How can any card that is 115+ years old look like that ? Remember it was packaged in a tobacco pack . This card has never been dropped etc. ?? Just putting it in and out of a CardSaver without corner nicks is hard to do . Wow !

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=257327 Starting at post #13 through #25 might lend some insight. There was a large find of uncirculated T206's at the end of the 1980's. From the backs that were in the group it was likely a box of cards meant to be put into packs at factory 25 that were taken home. No Sweet Caporal, Just Piedmont 150-350, Sovereign 150-350 and Old Mill Southern League. You will notice the number of Sovereign 150 backs in this collection at Heritage. This was a pretty well documented find at the time, I covered about all I can remember in the other thread. |

The McGraw pointing is truly an extraordinary card, and when you look at it you understand why it was graded a 10. But a few of the other 10's don't match up well and make you wonder just what is going on. Many of them should only grade 9 at best. I don't know anyone who really understands how grading works at this exalted level.

Ever since I started collecting about 10 years ago, I've always thought there was one huge flaw in the grading system. The second lowest grade is GOOD- that makes absolutely zero since. You got practically the upper half of the system with the word mint in it. Everything 7-10 looks the same to me and that's why I just stick with 3s and under lol
With that said, there's no way this card should grade a 10, especially after looking at the back
