Is a missing chunk not an automatic 1 or "authentic"?

I have a PSA 1.5 that has a similar corner missing. Slabbed in last 10 years.

I think Beckett's old BCCG division accurately graded this McGraw as a 5.

Of course, a 5 grade in their 'just slightly different' grading scale system was not Excellent, but instead Poor or Better. Being the owner of this McGraw I would like to believe it is not Poor, but should be classified in the Better range, perhaps even close to Excellent.

Got to love that old BCCG grading scale. It's like the only reason for having such a bizarre scale is to take advantage of people who don't look closely enough at the card or at the text on the slab, and just glance at the number and bid accordingly.

Wow — that’s an incredible 5!

I hope Beckett made good loot from their BCCG brand because it sure as hell cost them some legitimacy on their more respected graded products.

I can't believe how many years BCCG stuck around when the backlash on their grading scale was controversial pretty much from the outset.

This is not my card and I’m using this only as a reference. Found this 1914 in a FB group to shed some more light..

Wish I ever had this kind of luck on my submissions:

And there it is, Danny …

In my opinion Cracker Jack cards with chunks missing look healthier when outside of a plastic coffin.

Brian (a good chunk of chunked graded cards are 'dead' to me)
