Another Grading Experience
 

I just got these back indirectly from SGC...a friend sent them in with his submission for me. I'm a bit disappointed with the way these 3 graded. Guesses?

Don’t know the grades but on the type 3 fact 8 overprint, who cares the grade; whoever it is, there can’t be many of them. Would love to see the front

2's

I know...I've never seen another...and after just looking at it under a loupe there are a bunch of creases...the WAJO perplexes me the most.

I DO like the new SGC holders!

What is the difference between the new and old holders?

excuse me..."the new flip!"

I say 2 on Donlon, a 4 on WaJo, and a 1.5 on Wags....

In my dreams!!!

My guess, Donlin is Authentic, Wojo is 1.5 and Wagner is 1.

Ugh! Wow...

You guys are all over the board!!!!

My guess 1 on Donlin, Authentic on Wags and 3 on Wajo...

Donlin SGC 20
Wagner SGC 10
Johnson SGC 50

Donlin 1.5
Wagner and Johnson Authentic

Donlan 1, others authentic.

1.5, 3, 1.5

1.5 , 1.5, 1

Donlin 2
Walter Johnson 2 (warping/stain on back)
Wagner 1.5 or Authentic

Donlin 20
WaJo 35
Wagner 20

ETA oh right, new scale. 1.5, 2.5, 1.5.

it's like Tuesday Night Trivia, except you know there will be an actual answer

T213-3: 20
Wajo: 35
Wags: 25

Donlin 2
Johnson 2
Wagner 1.5

Well...good guesses everyone...like throwing darts at a dartboard blindfolded!!!!!

Chalupa was closest...the grades are as follows:

donlin 1.5
wajo 3
wags A

Honestly, they seem pretty accurate

1
3 st Wajo
2

I guess I could see the other two, but that Wajo is sharp. Looks like they hit the stains pretty hard, because the cardboard looks like it could be a 5 on a good day (keeping in mind we are judging off a scan). I would have guessed a 4. Despite the two creases, I had the Donlin pegged at a 2. Nice cards anyway.

Those seem right to me? I've been submitting pre war to SGC monthy for a few years, there's a noticeable difference in expectations when you are just buying SGC cards from a variety of their grading years/history as opposed to regularly having cards graded. It gives you a better idea of what to expect. I'll bet there is some very small surface loss on the back of Wajo from coming out of a scrapbook.

I see your point...and I think you're right. I hardly ever submit cards to TPG'ers...so I have little experience...additionally I believe you are right about the WAJO...there appears to be surface loss on the back.

Based on the majority of responses though...it seems most on here don't have much of a clue about how TPG'ers grade...myself included.

I think Wags should have received a # as it's just worn...and had WAJO received any higher...I'd have been happy!!!!!:D

I thought that you would be lucky to get a 2 on Donlin, with those creases. But Ryan is right, all that matters is that Factory 8 overprint. Great card.

There are three experiences when submitting a card to a TPG:

1. The grade you hope to receive
2. The grade you received
3. The grade you wished you had received.

1 and 3 aren't always the same.

Before I read the "answer"
 

I had guessed

Donlan - 1
Wajo - 2.5
Wags - A

The front is the Donlin.

When I started this thread I was having technological issues and only the back scan first was posted.

That is what I was going to say. :cool:
