Undergraded Cards

[Hirbonzig]

Beautiful cards that don’t deserve the lowball grade. Would be nice if the graders could put a note about why they arrived at such a grade.

Great OG post idea! Please help me… why did Teddy get no love here? I just can’t find the flaws enough to grade this a 4. But I don’t have the eye that many of you do…

Good grade? Or did the grader just have a bad day??

I’ll take Ted if you’re ever interested! The t206 drum is really confusing. Hidden paper loss?

Looks like a pinhole which I believe is automatically a 1.

Used to be. More recently, pinholes are getting PSA 2s when spotted, PSA 7s when missed.

LOL....
I specialize in low grade cards!!
This one should have been a 2!

Nice card Leon.

If these cards are low grade then what I collect should grade out with negative numbers because my stuff is a wreck compared o these gems.

Can you post a recently graded example with anything higher than a 1? That policy is/was so arbitrary as cards with significant corner wear or paper loss arguably are missing more cardboard than those with a pin or staple hole and many (like the pictured example and the previously posted Drum back have far superior eye appeal!)

Soon as PSA starts giving out PH qualifiers, this is an immediate crackout

I know a few years ago I probably saw 5 different cards with pinholes get PSA 2s. I went back on Net54's search and couldn't locate images. I will check blowout next, and if not, keep an eye out for them in the future.

Here was the PSA 7 case I joked about. Too bad the images have aged out.

Yeah, graders have a bad day when they miss a defect, not when they find one.

Normally a 4 would be a great looking card with a slight crease, even under magnification tilted under a light source. But your image is way too small to tell anything. You need to repost it at a hosting website and then link the URL, rather than upload the file to the board.
