Grade Me, Please. New Cards Added for Fun...

[Bamacollection]

I generally don't disagree with the grades I receive, but these two didn't sit well. I am asking for the boards expertise before I decide to resubmit. Thank you in advance.

Bender: SGC 40, outside shot of a 50?

Brown: SGC 30?

Nice cards, nevertheless.

[Tim Kindler]

Bender- 30 for the chipping, small creases on the lower right side, and staining on the back.

Brown- 20 The image is nice and the colors are vibrant, but the crease is a heavy one and goes all the way through the card.

I've always felt like grading was like playing the lottery. Sometimes I win and get cards back higher than expected, sometimes I lose and think the grader is full of it.

[Brian Van Horn]

I don't give numeric values, but the Bender would be a VG to VG-. The Brown would be a Good.

40 bender
30 brown

I agree that they are SGC 40 for Bender and SGC 30 for Brown. Can't wait for the reveal. I do like the Cycle backed brown though. Just got a grade 4 same one. Nice cards regardless

The bender looks to have several small creases along the lower right so it could be a 30, maybe a 40.

Brown is a solid 30 IMO.

Both present nicely though.

That Bender has a marker on it in addition to small creases, chipping, and stains on back, add it all up and SGC 20 or 30 no more is my guess.

That Brown also has what looks like a pen mark.Both SGC 20 or 30 but who am I

Bender - 30
Brown - 20

Both a 20. At best a 30.

Sorry, the Bender has been touched up with paint on the right hand border as you look at the card, I know because i have removed over 400 painted t 205 cards- look at the card on the side where the paint is you should see discolor-- that is the first clue. Thanks dick towle

No disrespect intended Dick, but I believe SGC is more than capable of spotting painted cards. The color is uniform, other than where there are small creases. Thanks for the opinion anyway.

Grading Inconsistency's

When you stop and think about it, we almost have to chuckle.
Wasn't it due to the grading inconsistency of the dealers, that the graders came into being.

The innovation gave us a more expensive heavier card, without losing any of the grading inconsistency's.

This was fun! Someone else put up a mystery graded card for the rest of us to look at.
