Does this Old Judge deserve a SGC 40grade?

I do not see an issue with it. The image is a 6 or a 7. The cut is alittle off. I would question a grade of a 5 or 6. I think it is fine. I have seen PSA 6/7 with stock loss on the back of the card. That is a legitimate issue.

With that miscut should be an Sgc-20 or 30 IMO.
I still wouldn't mind having it though.

lax(er) grading at SGC. some front scraping, missing left border. at best a 20/30 because of the miscut, at worst SGC A. great image, there's prolly no price difference between an A grade or a 20/30, but a 40 is a stretch.

Matt,

That image is outstanding. We all have our opinions. I think the grade is fine and would love to own the card. If you do not like a card you should not buy it for the numerical grade assigned.

Yikes - I just disagreed with your statement that the image is a 6 or a 7 - it's terribly blurry at the bottom, especially by the text. Doesn't mean it's not a nice card or I wouldn't want to own it. Serenity now...

wes, i agree with you about pricing for A vs numerical...i just meant in this case for the delahanty it might not be. of course being a potential bidder i'm all for SGC to "get it right" with the popular opinion in this thread....the difference between an A and a 40 here is probably multiple Ks.

Quan,

There is a world of difference between prices for SGC A grade cards and those that receive numerical grades. I would much rather have a SGC 1 card than one that has been trimmed or tampered with.

This card should be no more than SGC A for the horrible miscut. I don't like PSA for prewar cards, but PSA would have either given this card a 3 MC or rejected for not meeting minimum size requirement.
