So you ask a question, I answer it accurately, and you just bash them? No more soup for you.

I don't see any difference in grading cards, magazines, coins, pins, etc. It all comes down to a scale grade based on condition. Just because the item is limited, doesn't mean the grade should change. Are cards graded against each other or to a generally accepted "norm" of centering, surface, etc? I would guess the latter.

I think there is a difference between cards and coins, one would not send a card to PCGS/NGC Coin Grading Service to grade a card. My question is does PSA have a benchmark of 1980 topps coin to compare with to get their grades. Each coin can be different with marks or how they are struck , at best the 1980 coins should only recieve Authentic since only @ 14+/- came into circulation. Also did PSA also base their their grades on the first coin that was submitted to them, apparently they dont have the first coins

It’s no different than what card dealers did for decades they grade them based on the standards of that industry at the time. These are not numismatics and shouldn’t be judged as such simply because they are called coins. Of all the things to complain about grading for this is officially one of the dumbest I have seen so far.
