Poll Should GA disclose that the PSA 6.5 and SGC MIN SIZE Dimaggios are same card?

If the additional information would result in a substantially lower price, or if it matters to a large group of bidders, how is it not relevant from an overall standpoint? I get that to you it isn't.

I don't believe it would result in a lower price. The card will bring PSA graded price whether you say SGC wouldn't grade it or not. You can't assume it would just because a minsize card with no subsequent grading history sold for less.

It might not, especially if there is a registry angle. My only point is, disclose and let people decide, don't conceal.

Same as if it had a lower grade from SGC. You can use pretzel logic all you want, but you can't have it both ways. Either reveal every detail that could potentially affect the price, or not. You can't pick and choose. That's why my position is we don't need to try to decide what is necessary to disclose or not. The card is what it is and is in the slab that it's in. No mental gymnastics to decide which piece of info is important.

Lots of arguments are nuanced and are not all or nothing. Sure, you can do a Socratic method/slippery slope pushback on my point of view, but to me that doesn't necessarily invalidate it. As someone once said, just because there's a slippery slope, you don't have to ski it to the bottom. Justice Ginsburg maybe. Anyhow, I get your point.

So how do you feel about the PSA 8 Wagner card? The fact that it's 100% known to have been cut from a sheet after it was printed at the factory therefore it should be disqualified from receiving a numerical grade.. yet PSA said it was an 8.

Does this "not matter?"

Does this "not matter?"

Don't misunderstand my position. I'm not against disclosure and always err on the side of disclosure. And I am always an advicate of disclosing known flaws, defects, and alterations. Minsize is none of those things.

[ullmandds]

I am not a fan of the term minsize... if the size is slightly off normal tolerances, yet looks unaltered. It should receive a number. if it appears to be altered it should not.. minsize should always be accompanied by possibly trim.
