How is T206 not an MC Qualifier?

Anything is a possibility, but I don't think so. This card was sold on eBay a few weeks ago by one of our own board members. Looking at his feedback, he has an excellent reputation on eBay although I have never dealt with him. It appears that he sells a lot of high end cards among other things. I don’t want to call him out, but a little research will tell you who it is.

PSA isn't nearly as harsh on paper loss as SGC. I really don't understand how SGC could grade a card with sharp corners and a spot of paper loss on the back a 20, and in the same submission, grade a card with an ugly crease a 40.

A qualifier is a qualifier is a qualifier IMO.

There shouldn't be any option to downgrade in order to remove a qualifier. I thought one of the main purposes of the grading card companies was to help quell doubt of dealers self-grading their cards when you buy something sight unseen.

Off-centering is a big aesthetic pet peeve to a lot of people. Front as well as back of a card.

I don't deal much in graded cards but I'd rather have a nice clean 5, rather then a way off-center 7 or 8.

Not pre-war (or baseball), but I was recently burned when I upgraded my 1960T Jim Brown. Was a PSA 7. Saw the front when I bought it (was about 65/35 or so, which is acceptable to me), but when I got it in, I flipped to the back and the whole left side of the border was missing.
