Opinions on my T206 Raymond American Beauty

[t206hound]

we'd need to see a much higher resolution scan to let you know why it graded 40/3... a surface wrinkle/crease probably exists.

No wrinkles or creases at all! I don't know how to get better photos on here, I only know how to get them from my phone.

bottom right corner looks weak

centering (L-to-R) is way off

looks like registration on the front might be off a bit

really need to supply decent scans when seeking this kind of forum feedback ... might want to invest in a decent scanner that uses CCD technology

Best Regards and Happy Collecting

Can someone recommend a good brand/model scanner for the above purposes?

Sorry to hijack your thread Wazoo. Nice looking card no matter the grade.

There's been a lot of scanner threads on the forum. You can read thru this: Best Scanner for Graded cards? Or use the search function to find more.

I like my Epson V600. Most important is to get one that uses CCD technology.

Dear Barry,
Thank you!

Sgc kills cards for centering. That would probably be a PSA 6. You'll learn that each looks for different things when assigning a grade.

A beauty wazoo!!!

enjoy

the "ghost" is prob the off registration.....no worries

[wazoo]

Thank you very much for the feedback. Who knows, maybe I'll have it submitted to PSA, and it will come back as a 5 or something. When I see 4's going for $300 dollars, I want all I can do to increase the grade.

@Tobacco&Gum, no problem haha, I may want to invest in a decent scanner.

@mrvster, thank you once again for sharing you much appreciated knowledge.
