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. |
busting them out is the only way to go. of course they dont use the same standards for all cards, and all graders within the same company grade different too. thats why someone can send in a card and it comes back a psa 6, then take it out of the holder, send it back in and it comes back a psa 8, a 60 dollar card is now an 800 dollar card. its insanity but people seem to love insanity.
only in bizarro world can a 10 pristine card still have flaws, its right in their description. we would think a 10 would be impeccably and unimprovably perfect. but no, we would all be wrong, it's a psa 11 that is perfect.
