November Pickups!

I assume the Snider has serious problems on the back, right?

The Killebrew also seems pretty harsh, unless there are creases not visible in the scan. Does the top right corner really take it all the way down to a 2? More chest-thumping by PSA, I suppose. "Woohoo, *strictness!!*"

The Snider has a small pencil eraser size paper loss on back, I honestly think the Killebrew is from the bottom right corner. I actually do love nice eye appeal low grade, a change from my Koufax PC so I really appreciate a non perfect card.

I think we are talking about the same corner on the Killebrew - I meant the top right as it is pictured, which would be bottom right if you're looking at it horizontally.

You are correct sir, we are talking about same corner!

And I ask you, does that corner mean the card is only 20% as good as a perfect one?

I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder

Thanks. Yeah I love the half grades too. My '56 Clemente is also a 4.5. Funny how most collectors love half grades - because in this case, it's like saying "Hey, that's a really nice 4..." but dealers generally hate them because they are harder to move for the price they want.

Duh. Didn't realize I posted my first December pickup in the November pickups thread. Oh well, LOL.
