Ineptness of Authenticators/Graders
So I'm perusing the mile high catalog that just arrived today and I stop on page 116 as I see a slew of babe ruth cards...specifically lot 308...a w575-2 babe ruth hand cut card. graded by SGC a 1. 2 of the three corners are gone...1 is dangling. Hand cut...missing 2-3 corners...SGC graded it a 1.
I've experienced SGC as of lately giving tons of cards the scarlet A...in many cases the explanation is a mystery. This is certainly not meant to bash SGC...as I find them miles better than PSA. Grading standards have changed with the wind with PSA over the years...SGC grading incredibly harsh these days. Why? To reward early adopters? We all know some receive preferential treatment when it comes to grading. My query is this...is there any other hobby...area of collecting...where the authenticators/expert graders are as inept as they are in this hobby. Where the standards have changed so much over time...where there is so much ineptitude and corruption. I have a hard time believing there is? Last edited by ullmandds; 03-08-2022 at 05:48 PM. |
