Lol
 
Gotta love the "experts" at PSA :eek:- This is one is so funny it is sad :(and in my mind furthers the credibility issue of who exactly is grading these cards anyway! :confused:As is often stated on the board - buy the card, not the holder. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like they are two different numbers though. A #1 and a #4.

Still... :)

One is bunting and the other is sliding. The reason for the two different grades might be because the one in the 9 holder has the whole pannel and the one in the 8 is just the left portion. I'm guessing the one with the 9 recieved that grade was that it came as one whole piece and the grade was given because of that. Don't think PSA was too strict on it because there just aren't a lot of those around...JMO

Nice cards though.

I don't care if one 1 is Bunting and 1 is Sliding. Do you need 20% of the card or 100% of the card to get a numerical grade? Or I guess it really doesn't matter. My point is that grader who gave the 1/5 card a numerical grade most likely had not idea what the "full" card looked like. Which in itself is laughable. IMO If you are of the opinion that both of these "cards" merit number grades then I am not sure we need TPG.

IMO, nothing hand-cut should be numerically graded. Only a full, unfolded bazooka box deserves a numerical grade.

I agree 1000% - but then PSA would have to invest in larger holders and there is SO much money to be made from all of the cut parts. Another elemnt that is VERY disturbing to me is the thought of how many people cut down their whole panels, boxes, etc to be able to get numerical grades on the cut down parts.
