Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Grading is subjective. One grade either way is not abnormal. Not enough of an issue to make an issue over, imo. Even if PSA, or GAI, graded this a 3 I wouldn't really make note of it. regards

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>This card could be slightly over graded. Not really close to the magitude of mistakes that PSA makes. PSA has put cards in 5 and 6 holders with paper loss. While both are mistakes, the price involved rises with the grade. That is my real issue with the PSA misgrades. I Guess the same could be said about this SGC card. <br /><br />As Leon said, it is subjective and I don't have a problem with this SGC graded card. Not a real big deal IMO.

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Well, I won't pay for this.<br /><br />It is time to stop buying inferior product. Specifically, card mapping technology exists. Couple this with individual pixel assessment and the resultant average weighted grading and you have a repeatable product. The programming would be done in an instant, if our market demanded accuracy.<br /><br />Also, if we required overall quality, some of the encapsulation features we would want may include:<br />protection of the card from<br />a. fading, due to uv light - display your card anywhere !!<br />b. acidic air pollutants - air tight<br />c. accidental liquid exposure - air tight<br />d. relative humidity changes - no need for silica gel<br />e. tampering/crack outs - permanently sealed holders<br /><br />And possibly other features.<br />This would be worthwhile. It will happen eventually. How long will we wait?

Posted By: <b>Bobby</b><p>The card though even over graded fetched far less money the the PSA 3 equal which is 460.00-480 with an Old Mill back. And even PSA 2's in the past where getting in the $350 range. <br /><br />So I would say in this case the buyer did buy the card and not the grade.

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>King,<br /><br />you might be right about people not making such a big deal out this proable misgrade because it's not in a PSA holder. I believe the sentiment is that if PSA were to improve their customer service that they'd probably not get so much crap about it. Personally, a misgrade is a misgrade no matter who's misgrade it is. On the other hand, since it's a PSA misgrade - lets start a new PSA bashing thread!!!<br /><br />Ok, just kidding (kind of).....

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>Definitely an overgrade, and one of the worst SGC 40's I've seen. If I bought that card sight unseen (which wouldn't happen, but just as an example) I would definitely take advantage of any return policy offered. I have several 40's that when compared to that card should be 60's.
