Mathewson T206 Portrait question

[Archive]

Posted By: Jackson

I saw this T206 Portrat PSA 6 Mathewson on eBay, and was wondering from the scans why it's only a "6". Maybe the border at bottom is a bit thin, but otherwise, this looks like a very strong "6".

Anyone out there with a better feel for this have an opinion?

You should post this on the card board. Thanks

Can a PSA 6 have a tiny wrinkle or crease that would cause that grade? Based on centering, registration and the sharp corners, I don't get this "6" grade, either.

I am just not sure if a wrinkle can exist on a "6" card... I used to think that a "5" was the highest grade under those conditions. The "Card guys" Mike referred to can surely shed more light...

I have a '53B Musial that I was hoping would get an 8 or 9, but ended up being a 6 due to the slightest wrinkle. So yes, a 6 could have a wrinkle.

Something as subtle as a fingernail gouge may keep the grade from going higher
