Help: What grade will be given this 1913 PCL?

[Fred]

It will probably get a "1", but in my opinion (probably like others), cards that have a coupon removed should be rated "A" because technically, they are trimmed cards. It's mind boggling how the TPGs continue to assign numerical grades to cards that have been cut/trimmed after initially being distributed.

Edited to add - I wouldn't remove/erase the picture, it gives it a little more character.

Thanks very much Fred...I'm not too savvy on the graded cards.

AUTH or 1(MK) by PSA.

Authentic if they deem the cards minimum size not met due to coupon being taken off and clipping his foot. Best case a 1, good luck

From the scan the drawing actually looks to be in pen. No help on the grading question, but in my opinion the drawing adds to the appeal.

So I would vote no on erasing, even if it is in pencil. But also consider the source of this opinion.

SGC 1 IMO. When it comes to Zeenuts TPGs delineate between cards that were produced with a coupon to be removed and trimming.

+1 agree think a 1

If I was to send it in? It would probably come back ungraded.

So you have a much better chance of getting a grade “A” or probably a 1.

Good Luck

It will get a 1 (or possibly an A because of the ripped portion, they aren’t consistent with that.)

No reason Zeenuts should not be given a numerical grade. If a Bazooka, Post Cereal, Jello, or Hostess card can get a numerical grade having had all 4 edges trimmed (as intended) then Zeenut cards should be graded as well. They should specify, however, that it is without the coupon.

I like the artwork on the back! A rare glimpse into the life of a young child in 1913!
