Default Which one is the PSA 3.5 and which is the 7?

Here's a little afternoon game for you.

Which one is the PSA 7 and PSA 3.5? Backs are both similar.

Please post back scans so everyone can make an informed decision.

My guess prior to scans is the right is 7 left is 3.5, I believe I see a crease running through Jack at the top which has been taken with certain scanner settings to make it appear extremely minor when in hand in proper lighting it would be more prevalent.

Default im guessing

the one on the right with worse centering is the 7. Its always tough to grade scans though.

Then I bow out. Scans are not high enough quality to render an accurate opine.

I think the centering on the first one(left) is superior to the second one (right), though it (left) has more staining. I'm guessing better centering is of more importance than staining, when the staining is slight.


WARNING: English Lesson follows:

By the way, the backs of the two cards can be similar, however 'similar' is an inclusive adjective.

Hence, 'both' is implied. So saying 'both' are similar is not necessary.

After all, one, by itself, cannot be similar, nor can the other - separately.

From what I have seen from PSA, either one could be the 7?

Neither looks bad enough for a 3.5, or nice enough for a 7 from what I can see in the scans. If forced to choose based on those two scans alone I would pick the one on the bottom.

Thanks for playing along. The 3.5 was just graded and is mine. Grading inconsistency is real folks. :-) Reason for the 3.5 given was "back staining"

(I'll throw in a 5 for good measure)

A consistency in inconsistency.

Forget the grade.

Your 3.5 CJ Joe is a beautiful card!
