Seeking perspectives on an SGC grade

[Rhotchkiss]

I believe a card with writing will never get higher than a 1.5 with SGC. Look at all the postally-used post cards with 1.5 grades. I am almost certain this is the case

I agree. It could have been a 2 but SGC's policy is not to go that high with any writing. It's happened to most of us. That WAJO sells for a 3-4 price if it sells again, imo.
.

This one could have been a grade lower. Sometimes, you never know what they will grade something.

Just my opinion, that small mark on the back, to me, doesn't warrant a grade like that. Wow...

Perhaps consider sending back to SGC for "review". Include note describing other positive attributes, and how the back writing appears to be relatively minimal (they might laugh at note, but it couldn't hurt). Would be worth the expense to try to get it in a 2 holder. If not, keep it, be happy the eye appeal is superior, and know you will get very high for the grade sales price if ever sold.

Are any of the Backstamp cards getting grades above a 1.5? Looking at the t206 backstamp website, they only seem to show the backs.
