Cobb Wolverine grading question?

jcmtiger · #1 05-08-2009, 02:59 PM

I wonder if anyone has opinions on grading of this postcard. The reason I ask, it has a pinhole on the top. What number grade do you think it would get from SGC? The postcard has no writing on the back.
Thanks Joe

because of the pinhole - an SGC 10

otherwise it looks like an SGC 40 or so (hard to tell from scan if there is creasing / wrinkles).

I think no better than a 10.

I have talked to SGC at lenght about pin holes. I have a card that is a SGC 30 with 2 pin holes that was reviewed and still held the grade. That being said I would think this would get a 30 or at worse a 20. I think the pin hole does less damage as far as the grade then if it had writing on the back.

writing = 10
pinhole = 20

writing with a pinhole = priceless

a 20

It would be very interesting to see what it would get. Is it a tack hole or a pin hole? I have seen many T5s with not much more than a tack hole and they routinely are awarded 10s (with no writing).

IMO

A 10 because of the other wear and also the pinhole is so obvious (has wear too).

If card was sharper with a small pinhole then maybe a 20-30.

Nice collector grade card, with good eye appeal

Thanks for the input on the card. I think I will call SGC and see what they say. If this card can only receive a 10 I probably won't get it graded.
