Regrade?

Should I get this regraded becuase the only thing that i can see as 2 quality is the light crease? I payed 375 for this card hoping it would get a better grade but I would like to know if I over payed.

Thankshttp://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1130196335.JPG

I think it may be a well presented PSA 2 but the crease is rather large and it does have corner ware. It probably has a shot at a 3. I wouldn't be too concerned about the holder as long as you like the card. Edited to add a pic of my PSA 2 Matty...it looks super good for the grade of a psa 2 IMO.
Also I saw the johnson on ebay and the crease doesn't seem too minor, it shows clearly through the back.

regrade no...grade is accurate. i'm not sure what a psa 2 is worth...last i sold was an sgc 50, about a month ago for 660...but that is apples and oranges.

Henry,

That's a nice 2, but a 2 it is. When I first started getting T206's PSA'd I had similar experience. Cards that look like 4's, but when you take into consideration the card's flaws at a grass roots level it makes sense that they are the grade received. Cards with evenly rounded corners and a light crease can garner a 4. The corners on your Johnson are a bit layered and the crease is a little too heavy. I think you got a decent deal though. It's not a bargain, but you I don't think you overpaid. Thanks for posting it.

Thats a nice card for the grade. I agree the price wasn't a bargain but I don't think you overpaid.

I think you have a shot at a 3 on a regrade if the back is clean.

Team up with a large submitter i.e. 707 or SSS and you have a shot to come back with a 3. Assuming the back is clean.

so why not do it? Worse case they send it back( provided it gets there) in a 2 holder again!

FYS -
What's the implication of your comment about teaming up with a large submitter?

imo, it is a two regardless of who submits the card.
try it for kicks, but don't have any real expectations of a three.

I don't believe it, though. From what I've seen of PSA, they aren't well-enough organized internally to play favorites.

Does it really make a difference what the number says on lower grade pre-war cards? It sure seems to me that you pay for the visual appeal on the card itself rather than the number on the flip with cards like this.

wont really matter unless you plan on selling it on e-bay.
