In the '90's PSA grades this an 8
In 2010 PSA grades this 7
In 2015 they give it a 6
In 2022, they say F U - take your 2 and like it!
This is how card grading is done for us "hobbyists" - Huge inconsistencies, particularly over the 30+ years PSA has existed.

It's crazy how big/how noticeable the discrepancies are between some of PSA's grades.
When I first joined the site, I looked and looked at numerous PSA graded cards from a variety of sites (eBay/AH's) trying to determine the best I could what my 52 Topps cards would likely grade out at but I came away from that research more confused than I was before I went in.
Here's a few more from that same auction I was talking about above.
Maybe my eyes/experience isn't good enough but I sure wish someone could point something out to me that justifies these grades?
