REA Auction T206 Plank Grades (?)

I present this similar card. I am more of an SGC person, but this recent purchase let me down. (Yes it was a case of buying the grade, not the card. The ebay images were not up yet and I wanted it. That is my lame excuse.)

I like your Kleinow David-and it's got a Tolstoi back to boot!! I am not a fan of creases,even if they are light.I don't mind them as much if it's on a corner,but when it's across half of the card,I'm not a fan.

When I bought the Kleinow,maybe because the crease was across the body,I didn't notice it.And was used to SGC grading-and yes,I relied too much on the grade.I have bought SGC cards with no scan of the card,just sort of relying on the grade,and wanting the card,and was usually not suprised at what I got.I feel with PSA,you have to totally inspect the card-because a V/G 3 can have decent sized creases and fairly heavy staining.

Lesson learned to buy the card,and not the holder

That is where we have to agree to diagree, if you will. I would have much rather have the "display " value of your front compared to mine. But that is what makes the world great, to each thier own. Although I must agree with other posters, the graders should stay out of something so subjective.

Thanks John, Clayton. John, I should have added (though it probably goes without saying) that those are some fantastic looking cards that you posted as well.
