I agree...did he dare soak it???

Peter, I was thinking the same thing...it looks more like a VG than Good...nice card.

Based purely on the scans, that card looks like it was soaked...much brighter appearance in the SGC slab. Or it's just a better scan...thank goodness I'm more of a T205 guy!

Soaking does not fade the ink on cards. As Scott has mentioned many times, the 350-series Planks are notorious for looking this way - use google.

I agree that it certainly looks cleaner in the SGC holder and if was soaked, then that means it was submitted as raw. If that was the case, I agree that PSA got it right before soaking and SGC got it right after soaking.

It looks more like a nice 3 then a 2. SGC got it right. I think PSA does grade tougher in some cases.

Don't have too many PSA graded cards, but is it possible the stains look lighter in the SGC scan because of the darker background of the holder? The blue sure looks richer...
