Your Opinion Counts!
 

Need some input here. I keep telling myself I’m not going to submit to PSA (or any other 3rd party grading company), and keep violating that pledge, lol. Here goes;

Is it just me, or do others agree that PSA has become more than anal retentive (is that ok to write on this forum?), in issuing favorable (eg fair) grades for “high profile” cards?

If you don’t mind, please
comment on these three cards that just came back from PSA;

1. The rookie Dr J shown has excellent centering, sharp corners and edges, and no flaws other than a few print marks on the yellow background. Does EX-MINT seem accurate?

2. The Bradshaw rookie is vertically off-centered by approx 70/30. The apparent “ding,” on bottom right is actually nothing more than a streak of whiteness. No creases or wrinkles whatsoever...PSA-4!!??

3. The 72 Kareem has nothing more than a 60/40 horizontal off-centeredness and near perfect vertical centering. Clean surface and sharp corners. A PSA-6!?

Apologize for the shadow as don’t have a scanner, but would appreciate any feedback and suggestions if a regrade is warranted. (Backs left out as they don’t show anything that would effect the grades)

Pardon me, looks like I put this in the wrong forum. Sleep deprivation.

Here's some smaller pics, hopefully?

I am far from being an expert but I think those cards are reasonably/accurately graded based on what I can see.

All TPG's have tightened up their grading standards over the last couple years and even more so, imo, since the scandal.

They look accurately graded to me.

I would say they are pretty accurate,Bradshaw is clean but the dimples hurt it Kareem may be surface or somthin on the back and Dr J has rough edges....let me know if any are available for trade

It looks like Kareem has a stain at the bottom, on the K in Bucks.

They look pretty accurate grade wise to me. Did you ask for no qualifiers? The Dr. J. looks like it might be considered PD (print defect) which might have lowered the grade some.
