Hard to believe this was graded a PSA 5.........
Here's my PSA 5 T206 Burchell for comparison...........

Huh?
 

Prime example of why I dont trust PSA to accurately grade cards. I have come to accept the "buy the card, not the holder" philosophy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, my experience attempting to cross 40 PSA graded T206 cards (4s, 5s and 6s) into SGC holders was extremely educational and made me extremely wary of purchasing PSA graded T206 cards. In 10 examples, PSA missed creasing, wrinkles and/or trimming.

me too!

Probably got graded by one of the guys they hired from BCCG

I brought a PSA 5 T212 Obak off e-bay a month or two ago it has more wrinkles in it than a Shar Pei. I don't trust PSA anymore either.

Is everyone sure the PSA 5 card on eBay is even authentic? Whenever I see slightly rounded corners and brown staining, I think of the scam artists and their mugs filled with tea or coffee....

Too late now.......
 

Thanks for your comments guys. I'm just over 85% complete conquering "the monster"......all PSA graded cards. I wish I had started with SGC graded cards, but it's too late and too cumbersome for me to change course now. I really prefer the look of SGC holders, and they seem to be more consistent in their grading standards. (Take note, those of you who may be newly bitten by "the monster").

Looking at the back is easier to see the corners, the staining on front makes corners look worse.... but it still is NO 5 for sure. Id say 3.5

Positively S***ty Accuracy, as usual.

Nice !! Good one Andy :D
