Again....an awesome card. Everyone in the hobby would be proud to own it and even more proud if they could afford it however this is another blatant example of how 3rd party grading is not so 3rd party when it comes to biases. Those biases seem to go both ways. Some may like to write it off as too many graders, fatigue in the grading room or just normal inconsistencies that might occur in a grading room.
I am 100% certain that had any of us submitted this amazing card we would not have gotten a 9.5 from SGC. Not picking on them because PSA does his BS all the time too. Just a fact of life--not all submitters are equal.
