Is there ANY chance this T206 Matty Dark Cap gets a 2 from PSA?

Why let PSA dictate things? If you like the card you should keep it, IMO. And it would be fine ungraded.

I agree...perhaps if you decide to keep it raw, you just might eventually convert to the raw, dark side of the hobby. Nice looking card.

Here is my Matty that came with the first group of 5 prewar cards I acquired, and after all these years/decades he has still resisted hard plastic.

I could have posted this in the Favorite Card thread, but Matty decided he would have more impact here.

Personal preference, I guess. It's not so much needing PSA to dictate things rather the end result (a slabbed card) physically fits into my collection, conforms to the rest of my collection, allows me to update my spreadsheet with the info, etc. The organizing, completing, tracking, upgrading is a big draw for me. I can understand how others could view that as detracting from collecting and enjoying cards, but for me it enhances it.

Then send it in and see what happens, if you must have a slab, you can always decide to sell it. I think it's relatively unlikely but not impossible you'll get your 2.

I would bet on 1.5 but I think 2 is possible. It's got great eye appeal regardless.
