PSA grading errors

A 2 to a 7, imo, is a glaring discrepancy. Either the guy who graded it a 2 originally was way off side in his thinking or the guy who graded it a 7 was?

We are not talking a 2 to a 3, or even a 4, and I am no where near being a grader but I am 99% sure I can tell the difference between a 2 and a 7.

Like you mentioned, mistakes happen but I would also bet, aside from Exhibitman's example, there are many more out there that have also been grossly mis-graded.

Things wouldn't look so suspect if PSA admitted they screwed up and regraded the card for free but recharging the submitter for their glaring mistake certainly makes one question their integrity.

I also believe that a grade above 10 is coming. The off-center PSA 10 '53 Mays from the other thread proves that PSA has left some room above Gem Mint. SGC and BGS already have a Pristine grade, so I'm sure they'll follow suit at some point.

It is called a mistake. People make them everyday. i can only assume not seeing the card it was ether a data entry error or someone missed something the second time around, or thought the saw something that wasn't really there the first time. Like i said the grading is done by human beings and we make mistakes.

A little off topic but does anyone else collect grading errors? Here are a couple pictures of mine.

The PSA errors left to right are Counterfeit, Black Box version not whited out, and completely wrong card.

Second picture left to right are highly altered, No F scribble not Loop scribble, and wrong year.

Anyone found a fake 1963 Rose rookie that ended up being graded by PSA?

I agree, Glyn, and I guess Exhibitman should have questioned/called them first about it before cracking it and resubmitting it, but from what I have read on here, he most likely would have been charged again for the resubmit anyways?

When I first read his story, I couldn't help but think there is a 2 graded card out there sporting a 7?

I always thought they could give a '10 Best' meaning the best example they ever graded for the card...

imagine having the best 10....they would have to keep a database of their 10s i guess to compare ...thus the best 10 will always be POP 1 but you could lose the designation if a better example comes along and you could verify which cert number is the best 10 but checking psa website with the cert lookup
