George DreherTed, even though we feel it should have been graded a 4, you still have a 5 slab and that alone will dictate the higher value. You still made a wise investment.
T206 Collector, yes I think my standards are dated in comparison with the grading trends I have been seeing as time passes. The amount of raw vintage cards that can be graded is finite and we will see the number of submissions continue to decrease in coming years. This means that PSA and other companies will rarely see higher quality vintage submissions and the tendency will be to grade higher or grade altered cards in order to maintain profit, customer satisfaction and a sufficient level of future submissions.
