Guess my grade. Grade revealed!!

[Ladder7]

Andrew, Thats a fair grade. But c'mon man... I skipped my 1300hrs siesta for this? *yawn* This thread would have been more exciting for the rest of us, if there was a hidden, major flaw.

Are you going to reveal the grade?

JimB,

It's at the top, he edited his initial post. It was an SGC50.

Seems like an accurate grade, though it is a nice looking 50.

This Young has NM corners and no wrinkles. Slight tilt and chip in left border downgraded this one.

Thats a very nice Yound there Jim. Did you have it graded or buy it already slabbed? If you had it graded what were your thoughts when it came home?

I bought it graded and about a year later had it reviewed at the National. They did not change the grade on review. I think it is a no-brainer 60. A two full grade drop seems fair for the chip. The card is near-mint other than the chip. It seems like they (both PSA and SGC) are more lenient on chipping on issues like T205, T210, and T204 where it is more offensive visually than a chip like this on a white-bordered card.

Jim,I also feel that your Young card deserved a better grade than that-that card is awesome.Even with a spider wrinkle on Andrews card,I still feel it deserved a better grade.I have sent in cards that I for sure thought would come back at least a 40,and they came back a 30.I've also sent in a GAI slabbed T206 graded a 3,and it came back SGC 50,,,,,,,,,,,as far as grading goes,I feel SGC is the best at overall grading-they are the only ones I have grade my raw cards.Andrew,bottom line is-you still have one beautiful looking card there(and it didn't come back an"A')........regards,Clayton
