Black Swamp Find?

[pcoz]

Just a quick question....is there much difference between "The Swamp Find" and this one?? Both look superb but with much different grades.

If NO ONE knows about the "Black Swamp Find", was there REALLY a FIND at all?

Pete I think they are 2 different cards. It's just that one TPG got it right and the other didnt.

there is no way in hell this card should be any less than 8. The PSA card is a hell of a lot nicer then the SGC. Hey Andrew I think you just have the wrong guy submit your cards, to your favorite graders,for you or you'd think about them the same you do PSA. That SGC card is not close to as nice as the PSA your bias is clearly showing. BTW not defending PSA I think they all have major problems with their staffs abilities and qualifications. That being said I would trust and/or agree with Scott at SGC's opinion on a card submitted by a regular guy off the street probably 95 out of 100 times.

those high res scans are incredible...it's so cool to see the waviness and inconsistencies in the printing borders which disappear when viewing with the naked eye!!!!

Glyn no one here believes that the PSA card should be a 10. At most the average consensus I would say is an 8 at best. The SGC card is accurately graded is it not? A 5.5 is worthy of that SGC example. The difference is SGC gets it right 95/100 times where PSA is constantly being bashed for their own mistakes over and over and never try to fix the issues. Yes I prefer SGC over anyone because I can trust their opinion where as PSA is worthless IMO. So I am not being bias by any means I am just stating the facts.

Perhaps the only reason it is a 10 is because the owner hasn't submitted it for the 10.5 half grade upgrade.

Seriously, if givin a choice between "one" high grade card (by virtue that PSA says it's that nice) or a l"ot of other" nice cards, which choice would you make?

Andrew, I think you're right, SGC gets it right 95% of the time. But having mint looking cards in the same 10 holder as cards that look run over by truck seems like another worthless service. PSA cards have the highest resale value. Third party grading was ment to be a THIRD party between buyer and seller. I don't use any service for second party collecting, but if I had high dollar cards for sale it would have to be PSA.
