SGC Grading Challenge Video - can you guess the grade?

[ClementeFanOh]

Thank you for sharing, I did watch the video. First thought is that the
participants seemed to have a really good time (which is part of the goal,
right?) I did not attempt to "grade" the cards myself, as trying to grade
based on video of a card was a non starter for me.

It has been noted (accurately) on these boards, that SGC is particularly
harsh on vintage cards in recent memory. These 2 participants were also
harsh on the older cards, and, based on their ages, got me thinking that the
graders are getting younger at TPGs, not older. So many collectors are used
to seeing cards that come out of packs minimally at 8.5, that I'm wondering
if those same folks now employed as graders, are subconsciously hard on
cards that were created in more primitive times. If a new grader at company
"x" is 27 years old, he probably started collecting around 17 years ago,
2005-06. He hasn't bought packs with cards that have rough cut borders or
gum/wax stains, and might have no context in how to approach evaluating
them. We (older collectors of older cards) have to hope they learn, I guess

Fun thing to watch, thanks again parkplace! Trent King
