**POLL** How will this card grade? Graded VG/EX

[John V]

No paper loss. The card has the typical sheen of a T210. My guess is the discoloration, which is the lack of print dots, came from the manufacturing process. Wonder if other examples have the same issue?

[FUBAR]

my choice would have been a 30, but 40 was my closest option.

[Matthew H]

I think it should be an easy 40. The card is in very good condition. I know TPGs want to be tough but the end result is extremely vague grading in the 10-30 range. The card has has eye appeal somewhere between very good and excellent, of course the vgex grade is reserved for something else. (?)

Edited: PSA 4

awww why is this being dragged out even more? i thought a bump finally means the grade is in...haven't been able to sleep the last few months waiting for result. i'm hoping you went with an expedited grading tier!

Paul M's explication sounds on target to me.

It's a very nice card no matter what the grade is going to be. I'd say a 40.
My collection has a bunch of nice cards with lower grades than I thought , so to me, these grading companies provide a nice holder!
Its the card we buy not the grade I suppose.

The 2 minor wrinkles drops this card to a SGC 40.

[J.McMurry]

These two I sent in pulled 30's,and yours looks Waaay better,imho.

[T206Collector]

I think it's basically a no-brainer SGC 40. The 2 creases keep it out of 50 land, and the sharp corners and otherwise cleanliness of the card keep it out of 30 land. I did not even realize SGC 30 was not an option. The creasing would have to be more substantial than visible in the scan to drop it below an SGC 40.

[bobbvc]

I voted 40- but would have voted 30 if the option was available.

[FUBAR]

Mcmurry, hard to believe those cards received a 30.... they should have been a FR/PR , a 1

in that is the case of how SGC grades these particular cards , id give the original samples an easy 40

[J.McMurry]

Fubar,
I agree The Pierce is a head scratcher at a 30, but I think the Wagner is right where it should be. (I enhanced the scan slightly to emphasize the imperfections)

All I can figure on these cards is that the chipped borders are so common that SGC relaxes the grading a little on the overall set?
