Psa VINTAGE NEW GRADING STANDARDS

[sflayank]

Apparently (as we all surmised)...the new vintage graders...have no clue, and psa owners couldn't care less Dont know if anyone showed this yet
A hand cut card with 0...thats right 0 black dashes on any of the sides with a numeric grade...is this the new policy....should everyone send in their bazooka post.jello etc cards for regrading...card is in mile high auction just FYI

Stuff like you posted and I posted the other day (https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=339670)

has to eventually negatively affect the brand if it 1) continues and 2) becomes more rather than less prevalent

SUPER frustrating in the mean time.

And people will keep lining up for more.

Not a new thing, AFAIK; just plain old incompetence that happens from time to time.

In order for PSA to actually assign a grade to any of the cards that possess visible/defined borders on all four sides, evidence of that border must be present or the card must exhibit virtually-full borders based on the design of the specific issue. If the cut exceeds the visible border for the card in question, PSA will encapsulate the card as "Authentic" only. If the card is severely undersized and suffers in overall eye appeal, the graders may deem the card not suitable for authentication or reject the card as minimum-sized altogether.

Is there a box I need to check on my order to get the incompetent grader? Or does that come standard?
