T206 Tinker To Evers To Chance Grade Opinon

[Psal3891]

The marking along his face is on the case and the corner everyone keeps calling a diamond cut is not cut its just a nicer corner then the others. No one truly thinks that it cant be a 4.5-5? I cant believe it.

Sure, it could be. Submit it and prove them all wrong. Our opinions don't really matter, only the grader you get the day you submit.

do u understand what a diamond cut is?

Definitely a diamond cut, but looks like a really great card. I'd say PSA will judge you based on the corners and keep you under a 5; but that SGC would reward you with an SGC 60.

The Evers is not diamond cut. The top and bottom borders each slope a little bit - that is not a diamond cut. For more information about diamond cuts and some good examples, see the thread below. This type of cut is sometimes referred to as a "caramel cut" because it it more common on certain caramel cards.

Ok that works for me, as long as it's not trimmed were good to go. What would you say psa would grade this? I've never submitted anything before so I'm just curious if it's worth it.

Here are some better pics of the OP's cards.

After seeing the larger scans, my opinion is a 3.5 to 4 on the Evers. Still too hard to tell on the Tinker. It looks like it has some kind of mark or surface indention on the left border, just above the bat. I can't tell if it's on the card or the holder. If it's on the card, I'll say a 2.5 or 3.

Now I do, bnorth just explained to me what it is but it's not trimmed as much as you all wish it was, it's not.

Why do you think we wish it was. You asked our opinion and we are giving it to you. Personally after looking a bit closer I think the Evers is trimmed the rounding of the corners especially the upper left looks like it was trimmed after the rounding. I could be wrong. Also, you mention u got it from someone who got it from.."his grandfather". I'm always a little leery of that statement unless u know the individualpersonally. Either way sounds like u got a decent deal regardless.

No Chance that Evers gets even a 3.5 after seeing the close up pic. Just a nice looking VG card. Tinker will probably grade higher.

The Evers has a slight notch in the right border. I would say 4 tops. Again...if not trimmed.

It would be cool to see PSA do a larger holder for the trio, with individual flips. If there were enough interest they probably could do it. That would be a kick-ass display. Anybody good at photoshop and bored?

[Psal3891]

Well I've got everything from 2.5-4.5. I still think its def 4-5 so im where I started lol. Correct me if i'm wrong but it seems they grade Carporals less strict then they do Piedmont. Being it's less common? I'm assuming from what I see on ebay but its quite distiguished what they accept for Carporal vs Piedmont. Some Piedmont look like a whole grade higher with the same grade in my opinion.

I still think diamond cut on the Evers - looks to me like the 1975 Topps examples in the shared thread.

I now think the Tinker is trimmed at the top. Hard to tell from scans of the face, but I don't like that cut.

Good luck and keep us posted!
