Grading Game!
 

Hey everyone. Well it's been a while since I've sent some stuff in to SGC. Well I'm sending in 10 t206s. The pictures are below. The game consists of guessing what each card will grade. If someone guesses correctly on EVERY card grade when they come back, I will send them one of my raw t206s. So have fun :) Thanks guys.

By the way, the Kelley t206 will not be included here. It has not arrived yet. Also I am almost positive it will grade a 2.

OK, I'll play...my wild guesses:

Evers = 35
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 30
Jennings = 30
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 40
Chase = 35
Tenney = 20

Cheers,
Blair

My guesses:

Evers = 30
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 25
Jennings = 20
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 35
Chase = 20
Tenney = 20

Evers = 30
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 25
Jennings = 20
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 35
Chase = 30
Tenney = 20
Beamont = 30 (due to the paper loss on the back towards the top)

Only a 2 on the Evers? The card looks great in person. I feel like it will be a 3+. The scan makes it look like it has a crease, but it has none. By the way, I forgot to include the Beaumont card. I'll add it to the original post.

I thought 2.5 on Evers because it does have a nice appearance, but I feel the long crease running from his neck out to the left border plus advanced corner wear likely bring it below a 3...could be wrong though!

Good luck with the grades - hope you do well!!!

Cheers,
Blair

I knew that scan would mess it up. The card does not have any creases, but I guess the holder that it was in caused it to look like there was one. Thank you though :)

Wow - whatever is on that holder sure makes it look like the card has a crease! I guess that is why this game is so hard to play (and this also shows the value of TPG, because even buying a card with a big scan can be tricky).

If that Evers has no creases/wrinkles at all, I could see it pulling a 3.

Cheers,
Blair

Maybe best to scan them without scratched up top loaders then. Just a thought. ;)
Nice cards none the less no matter what # they put on the flip. Good luck with them!!

Tony, probably an intelligent idea to do. I transferred them to Card Savers last night, a much wiser decision. Thanks for the kind words once again :D

My guesses (many similar to the other guesses):

Evers = 35
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 30
Jennings = 30
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 40
Chase = 20
Tenney = 10
Beaumont = 30

Thanks for the challenge,
Dave

I'll play:

Evers = 30
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 20
Jennings = 20
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 30
Chase = 20
Tenney = 10

Some great cards Waz!

Thanks Chris! Means a lot.

Waz....

Thanks Johnny :). I couldn't turn them down.

I'll give it a shot...

Evers: 30
Chesbro: 20
Cree: 20
Jennings: 30
Schlei: 10
Delvin: 35
Chase: 20
Tenney: 10
Beaumont: 40

Thanks!

Lots of 20s on the Chesbro. Card is nice in person

Evers 35 (2.5)
Chesbro 30 (2.0)
Cree 35 (2.5)
Jennings 30 (2.0)
Schlie 10 (1.0)
Devlin 40 (3.0)
Chase 30 (2.0)
Beaumont 30 (2.0)

If the back was all intact, I'd say a 2, but it has multiple spots of paper loss...I think that is why most feel it is a 20. SGC is especially tough on paper loss - at least in my experience.

Cheers,
Blair

No paperloss, just the back is dirty.

Hi Wazoo,

What I'm seeing cannot be dirt...it is one of the whitest parts of the reverse of the card. A big piece of the letter "I" in the word Cigarettes is white. Unless you have a very strange camera, there is either paper loss or else white remnants attached to the card from removal from an album. Other spots on the reverse also look the same to me. Either way, SGC seems likely to penalize the card.

Cheers,
Blair

Just looked at it under the light. Does look like that is the case for the little area by the "i". I took it out, the other spots do not seem to be from paperloss. I could be wrong. Thank you for your input.

My take
 

Here it goes...

Evers 40
Chesbro 30
Cree 30
Jennings 30
Schlei 10
Devlin 45
Chase 30
Tenney 10
Beaumont 20

Will add the Kelley tonight if you guys want to guess on him too. He just came in the mail.

Evers - 30
Chesbro - 20
Cree - 30
jennings - 20
schlei - 10
Delvin - 50
chase - 10

I'll give it a go (nice pickups wazoo):

Evers- 50
Chesbro- 40
Cree- 30
Jennings- 40
Schlei- 10
Devlin- 40
Chase- 30
Tenney- 20
Beaumont- 40

It's hard to tell through the plastic on some things; great cards !!

Sincerely, Clayton

:D Thanks, but please don't hold me to it ;) I hope you get the grades you want :)

Sincerely, Clayton

Hey everyone, I finally got to sending out a batch of cards. 14 to be exact. During the time, I've made some trades/sales, so not every card is there. I will keep by my word though, and just go off the cards that I originally posted.

So if anyone else wants to play, the Tenney and Beaumont are no longer there.

Evers = 30
Chesbro = 20
Cree = 20
Jennings = 20
Schlei = 10
Devlin = 40
Chase = 20
Tenney = 10
Baumont = 40

Well everyone, the cards are back! I'm very happy with what I got. Here we go:

Evers- 45
Chesbro- 30
Cree- 40
Jennings- 30
Schlei- 10
Devlin- 30
Chase- 40

Evil, remind me never to have you grade my cards ;)

Really shocked at the Evers and Cree. Corners alone should have held those down. Maybe you should submit for me!

I agree...it appears SGC has relaxed their grading standards to more similarly mirror PSA?

The Evers is beautiful in person, the scan does it no justice whatsoever. The Cree on the other hand...yeah I was worried about him. Very nice EPDG in a 3. Now all I need them to do is give my Matty a 3!

ROFL hey im a tuff grader! cant just be throwing out MINT grades!!!

i should work for SGC or PSA get some consistancy (spelled wrong im sure) in the grading.

Hey, congrats Wazoo !!

Not bad~ I think you did pretty well. :)

Sincerely, Clayton

yea no doubt wazoo, if i ever deside to send in cards im calling you first to see exactly what you did!:D
