Downgrades for fisheyes?

[jupiter451]

I just got PSA grades back on some 1967 high numbers. I was shocked that the Belanger rookie got a 3. I had expected maybe a 7. The card is perfectly centered with sharp corners and a good surface. It is marred by 6 "fisheye" dots (little white circles on black ink parts of the card). I found some threads about fisheyes and grading, and most people say you might get a slight downgrade for them. But is 6 fisheyes on one card just too many? Really, a 4 point deduction?

Is this a scratch on the card? Pretty harsh grade, though.

Grades must’ve just popped today, as it’s not even in PSA’s database yet. Figured I would check the back just to see if anything there might be to blame, but not yet possible!

You pay the money, and you get their grade. That's the way it's always worked. Yet you for whatever reason still opted to play a game where they rather than you as the customer make the rules.

So now you're complaining? Why? Granted the fee you paid is long gone. Chalk that up as an expensive learning experience. But you still have the card and you can always break it out of its plastic prison and enjoy it for what it is.
