Seriously though, shouldn't all cards be graded to the same standards? As far as "acceptable"...that is personal taste. I for one would never be interested in a stained card, trimmed card, card with paper loss, card with a mark on it, holes in a card or creases that "break" the paper fibers. A mild wrinkle or soft corners are okay with me (if the price is right). As far as grading goes PSA is all over the place. I don't trust em. SGC seems a little more consistent but I bustem all out anyway. aloha, dave. |
I like the fact that the graders use some discretion with the Cracker Jacks. By the way, if you ever want to get over your aversion to off grade cards, I suggest that you take up collecting E220's. It cured me.
