1933 Uncle Jacks INSANE PSA Grade/Comparison (Video)

Obviously there are major flaws in the other card..... your front is very clean which means collectors almost surely would value it more than the other one. I respectfully ask if it may be faded or washed out as it doesnt seem as "pink" as the other one? In any event it is a very nice example and the PSA grade would not hurt the value in my opinion as most collectors now look past the lower grade holders to see what the card actually looks like. Theres a bunch of crazy variations as to eye appeal of "1" graded cards. Very nice card in any event.... dont let PSA ruin your day!

Thanks a lot! I really love the little piece - the era - and how rare it is. It doesn't appear to be faded to me as the text is strong and better in person. Not sure if the other has the contrast way up on the photo or what really is the case.

Eye appeal and technical
Grade are not the same thing at all. A card can be technically a one based on one single attribute despite the rest of it looking like a ten. That’s just how it works. I get that’s tough for some to understand but that’s how it is.

I like that he thinks I'm a PSA homer. That's funny.

Calm down, newb. If you keep freaking out like this, you probably won't be a member very long.

The grading companies appear to be consistent on this issue. Five of the six coupons graded by PSA are slabbed "1" or less, and both SGC examples are graded "A". The coupons were exposed to direct contact with the gum, which left rather severe staining throughout. I would not be surprised if they are given a "1" on that basis alone, apart from any paper loss. Here's mine, which fares no better:

This is one of the big failings with numerical grading as it's done. For the upper grades, there's some degree of consistency. While there's differences between one card and another, most 8s will look similar. If they're different it's along the lines of "that's nicely centered, too bad about that one corner" Or "nice corners, too bad it's not centered all that well"

But at lower grades, there's lots more room for differences.



On Quillen I was expecting better than a 3, but missed an erasure on the back. (Like never saw it in over 30 years missed it)
Young was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting a 1, maybe a 2 because of the crease.

even lower grade cards can be much farther apart.
