does paper loss always psa1/sgc10

Everyone is different when it comes to appeal of a card. An SGC30 card with a small amount of paperloss is acceptable to most collectors. The fact it has been graded SGC30 means it has already been discounted. Someone may not buy it because they consider paperloss a major defect. For others, paperloss is no big deal on a SGC30 card.

SGC are always accurate and fair in my opinion. Personally, I collect ungraded cards and grade them to oldschool, Charelton standards.

PSA seems to have made it's own rules when it comes to grading. For example, a card that is miscut or off-center can receive a NM-MT grade as long as "MC" of "OC" is written on the slab. Denoting MC or OC on the slab doesn't make the card better. Makes the slab more appealing but not the card.

why shouldn't a mint card with a factory miscut be graded MINTmc? or mk for some kind of writing? easier for me than trying to figure out why that EX-looking card is graded an sgc 20...erased writing or pinhole i'm not seeing maybe? of course half the time PSA couldn't even see the marking...

Someone has a card I want, and I've made an offer. They show this one, listed as a BIN for quite some time, as a card with paper loss worth a lot more than I am offering. I keep pointing out no one is buying, but that point hasn't sunk in yet.

Totally agree with chad. Give me a t206 psa 8oc versus a psa 6 with corner wear any day of the week...... unless of course it's trimmed, right dan?

You are being more than fair and don't buy it. The seller is asking VG price for a G+ card. VG-EX cards in PSA3 holders do exhist. The card below is in minimum 4 or 4.5 condition but was graded PSA3. I would put this card in an EX set anytime.

This one has a tiny amount of paper loss, but PSA doesn't hold you accountable as much as SGC. If SGC graded this, it would be a 2.

I tend to agree that PSA is more lenient when it comes to paper loss than SGC as I have seen more PSA 2 or 2.5 with paper loss but usually with SGC it gets a 20. Also 30 is the most I usually see SGC grade a card even with a very small spot of paper loss. Example below was in a PSA 2.

As a side note I do not mind writing, stamps or paper loss .

Pete- agree 100%. I have an almost identical E98 Coombs and it is in an SGC 20 holder.
