Ok what do you think? This can't be a PSA 2!

That's a significant crease on the right side of the card and it's one of a few. Merits a 2 in my opinion, I wouldn't resubmit.

Beautiful card A.J. and without the usual product staining of the 14's.

Technically graded correctly. My perfect kind of card to buy- Low technical grade and really great aesthetic appeal. Who cares about the number except for the registry collectors?

AJ, when it comes to the 1914's, all bets are off with PSA. I have the complete set, and I have 2's that look like 4's and I have 4's that could be 1's. It all depends on who submits them, among other things. I would seriously hold off on resubmitting it. As Leon points out, you have a great looking card there. Mission accomplished. As for the grade, you have your entire life to think thru whether or not to regrade. No rush at all. Besides, there is no rhyme or reason with TPG. Look at the Caldwell you got from me and the one you sold. Those grades made little sense. Expect the same nonsense again from Psa.

AJ,

I wouldn't want you to suffer through life with such a low grade card in your collection. Let me do you a service and take it off your hands !

Beautiful card and great acquisition!

PSA seems to be grading much stricter than their stated grade definitions this year (and it appears going forward). The prevailing vibe I get, and this is just based on my own experience and that of a handful of buddies who submit and review quite often, is that they are getting stricter and stricter. Going by those definitions on their site, I've encountered many cards with harsh grades this year. Just an observation that might help manage expectations and thus potentially avoid disappointment. I do think the stricter grading is resulting in many great cards in lower-grade holders for collectors to obtain, and such value for the technical grade is a good thing. That card is outstanding for the grade and hits the eye like a much higher technical grade card. Must have been a fantastic feeling to get that baby for anything near the going rate for 2s. Congrats on an awesome piece.
