Default What grade do you think this card will get?

I got sniped on the Cranston card (4 seconds to go) and was able to get the Persons card. I plan on sending it in to PSA to get graded. What grade do you see it getting? The winner(s) will get forum bragging rights when all it said and done.

Nice Persons. It appears at least to me it’s possibly trimmed on the left side ?

I hope thst isn’t the case. If you are right, that is a costly, bad experience for me.

Maybe it’s just the angle but the middle portion does look to go in a bit, I hope not, beautiful card

Default Authentic

Grade = Authentic (Altered) or (Evidence of Trimming)

My guess.

My guess is Authentic Altered.

The right edge appears to be of more or less uniform width. The left edge appears noticeably wider near the bottom than it does near the top.

That's typically a bad sign.

Unaltered cards tend to have an "equal and opposite" quality about them regarding border width. In other words, that left edge would match up with a right edge that exhibited an equal, opposite slope.

I will go with 3.5.
Like a few others, it seems like the card is not laying flat on the scanner.

4.5

I don't see the bat ears so it looks like a nice oversize. If the corners were razor sharp, then that might be a sign of trimming, but I don't see it. It looks wavey because it may not be laying flat.

Nice pickup, but it's like what Forrest Gump's mother said about a box of chocolates (and grading).

With the assumption that the pics are from the listing and are not flatbed scanned (and it's not trimmed as many seem to indicate), I gotta go with a 4.5 or 5. Looks pretty nice overall.

That confirms my impression of folks here as a very pessimistic/cynical bunch when it comes to grades .

It's sad that I can basically nail the grade on someone else's card, but when it comes to the ones I submit??? Not even close.
