Let's play a game of guess the grades!

Sgc 3
Psa 4 (maybe 4.5)

The PSA has much nicer corners and gold edges, but it is also slightly out of focus. Not sure a) if that has any effect on the grading and b) if so, what the effect is on the grade….

SGC 3

PSA 3 (but deserves higher. PSA grades too harshly lately)

[3-2-count]

Sgc 3
Psa 2

I can see the reasoning on the PSA grade, but have to say I personally feel the SGC is over graded by at least 1 full grade.

Many prefer a sliding scale for vintage grading. I would appreciate uniformity (granted this is a pipe dream as millions of cards have not followed this) between vintage, post war, modern, and ultra modern. What grade would you feel was deserved if a 2022 Mike Trout was in the same condition?

Before it’s brought up, I understand the normal effects of time, I just don’t mind a lower grade. What I don’t like is a million different standards.

The grading companies are pretty lenient on T205's, it seems to me. Graded T205's almost always have that edge chipping, which is very distracting to the eye. When I first saw the 2 cards, I thought they were 3.5 (SGC) and 4 (PSA). I can see why others were expecting 2.5 to 3, because of the edge chipping. No way a modern card in that condition would get a 4!
