Are you Smarter than an SGC Grader? Revealed.

[mrvster]

left got a SGC 30 ................right got an "A" way short definitely got an "A"

[Jlighter]

I'm going to say.....left got a 45, right got an A.

[Jacklitsch]

Left is A

Right is a 60

[Peter_Spaeth]

Well one would think you posted this because the one on the right, which obviously is more likely to be trimmed because it's so short, got the grade and the one on the left got the A. But maybe that would be too easy. So I will say the left is a 60 and the right an A.

Question No. 1A - Which card received a numerical grade, L or R? Right

Question No. !B - Explain why you think so..Left appears trimmed along the top

Question No. 2 - What numerical grade did that card receive? Card on right received an SGC 55

[Cardboard Junkie]

Right A

Left 50

[Sean1125]

left 5 right A, right looks trimmed on the bottom right border to me

[Al C.risafulli]

It is super-difficult to tell this sort of thing from a scan, and the larger the scan is, the harder it is to tell.

That said, these games are fun as hell to play.

So I'll say the card on the left got an AUTH, because the top and right edges look wavy and uneven to me.

The card on the right, despite having much smaller borders, received a numerical grade, because the cuts appear natural (though you can't possibly tell this for certain without looking at the edges, obviously). That said, I'll guess it's an SGC 50.

Im not a very good grader but i say left A(top rt corner looks too sharp)...rt 60.

[Brendan]

Left looks trimmed. The top border is slanted a little to the right.

I'll go with SGC 50 on the right card.

[glynparson]

Left a
Right 50

That said making a definitive statement on grade based on a scan is certainly not advisable.

[gnaz01]

Left = A (top right corner trimmed)
Right = SGC 40

[srs1a]

Left - A, as many have said, the top right corner looks fishy
Right - 50 - the t/b centering is poor, but SGC seems comfortable giving 50's for cards that look like this

[pgellis]

Left - A (top has been trimmed)
Right - 60

[EvilKing00]

1 - left card got the A - slight trim, on angle from left to right.

2 - Right card SGC 40

[Prof_Plum]

Agree with most of the others.

Left looks trimmed so A
Right SGC 35

Still seems kind of funny that the card on the left despite looking trimmed measures slightly larger than the one on the right.

[T206Collector]

Question No. 1A - Which card received a numerical grade, L or R?

L

Question No. !B - Explain why you think so.

The left one is a diamond cut, not a trim. The wide borders support this. However, the only way to see if a T206 card has been trimmed is by comparing all four edges while looking perpendicularly at the card -- compare the color and striations. You cannot determine a well-trimmed T206 by looking just at the front and the back.

The right one has the tell-tale "bat ears" top corners, showing that rounded corners were trimmed down to look sharper.

Question No. 2 - What numerical grade did that card receive?

The left got a 60; the right got an A.

I agree with this post!

[cmcclelland]

Left got an A

Right got an SGC 60.

[Tanman7baseball]

Right = A
Left = 5.5

[botn]

Left is an A for evidence of trimming and the right is a 50.

[RCMcKenzie]

The one on the left is trimmed and is a horrible card. The one on the right is so neat and is an sgc 84. I hope they find that guy who ruined the card on the left.
