Default Why Aren't More Higher Grades Posted?
Posted By: David Vargha

Uhhh . . . Bruce, if the cards you are looking for are so commonplace, it wouldn't be called "America's Toughest Want List" would it now? For many pre-war sets, 5's are outstanding and a 6 is the equivalent of a 9 or better for Topps and Bowman from 1948 on. I have a 1923 Curtis Ireland "Rube" Marquard card that is a PSA 5. PSA has only graded five "5's" from that set, with no "6's". SGC has graded six "5's" from that set, with one "6". So is my PSA 5 Marquard a high grade card or is it "collector's grade"?
