How can a card like that ever be graded a "4" ? This is unbelievable ! And we keep sending money to these companies. Here's one I received this week, graded "1", compare that to the "4".

That card is seriously a joke. Maybe a 3, WITHOUT THE STAINING. Is it possible this was supposed to be labeled 4 with the ST quailifier??

Without seeing the back, I would give this a solid 2. Even with wrinkles that may not show up in the scan. I'm guessing PSA has a couple of uptight graders known internally as such. Maybe we're just unlucky with who gets ahold of our subs.

Yes, I thought the Gehringer would get maybe a 2.5-3. No markings, no creases, has corner wear and centering problems but I never thought that would be a "1".

There appears to be a crease across the upper left corner. It may have had a shot at a 2.5-->3 a few years back. But, I still feel a 2 is realistic even by today's interpretation of the standards.

Maybe it was cleaned, graded, and then the stain returned. If not that's pretty bad. As was mentioned someone probably forgot to add the qualifier at PSA.
