How in the world did that Ginger Beaumont T206 get a grade of 9? And Lena Blackburn EPDG get an 8? Unbelievable.....

They are, hands down. These two look funny though.

I agree, that EPDG Blackburne looks worse than many 6s. No way if you or I crack that out of that holder and send it to PSA, it comes back an 8 again.

Also

how is this a PSA 7? isnt that staining and a wrinkle at the top

and this a PSA 6?

nice cards, but grading of t206s does not seem very consistent by PSA. The Walter Johnson PSA 7 is a great card, but seems more like a 6.

You are absolutely right. The Rucker PSA 7 Pied 42 has a very noticable crease or wrinkle at the top of the card. I'm just wondering if all these cards belong to the same owner??? Just saying, these cards are way off....

Well, now I have now spent the last 3 hours perusing the REA catalogue, and now am feeling a bit faint and think I need to lie down. If this is Rob's final REA auction before he rides off into the sunset towards whatever, then I think
it will be a blockbuster. Wow! John

Pete- you never cease to amaze me. Even with all of the past sales results, you want to go on and on about SGC, and rag PSA...Why? Even PSA can make grading mistakes, but the one good thing, they are at least in PSA holders. Nothing like selling PSA 7 T206 commons for $700-750, and settling for selling SGC 84 T206 commons for $400-450. What exactly is it? Did Joe O. beat you up at school??

I have never heard of a 7 with a wrinkle before. Does any one know if it is possible for a wrinkle to re-appear after its been removed? Perhaps that is what happened in this case.

yup...it is possible...a good indication said card may have been tampered with at some point.
