Grading T205

[Bridwell]

PSA really seems to hate a card with a little glue residue on the back. No matter how nice the card looks, it usually gets a PSA 2. Weird.

Should have tore the glue off. They grade higher when the white paper stock is showing

the PSA 3 - had rounded rough corners on front, a BIG scuff mark on front messing up the beautiful green background and a "dirty" back side.

the PSA 2 - had bricht color, vg corners front, "clean" back with only the small IMO glue marks on the corners on back.

I saw another PSA 2 the ohter day, (front was like this psa3 not too hot)where the back (peedmont) where is had the glue had rippet off half the peedmont logo, and it was still a 2.

IMO the grader was asleep at the wheel - im no grader but a PSA 3 or even a 4 maybe whoul be a more accurate grade for this card

making a dtermination on what something should grade can be foolish as scans can sometimes hide problems you can see when card is in hand. even the holders sometimes obscure some problems on cards.

very true but just comparing them side by side one is way better condition than the other.

I agree. Sometimes the grading companies are too technical. They forget to take into consideration the overall appearance of a card.
