Name That Grade Game Is Over NO WINNER!!!

Kind of agree with leon about bvg. I actually own a few high grades, and they all are extremely sharp. Sgc seems to be much more of a mystery to me.

When you grade 10 million plus cards you're gonna have mistakes. I would be utterly shocked if Joe Orlando would not be willing to buy every single one of those cards back. I wish it was who you know to get better grades. I worked for Levi Bleam in the late 90's early 2000's and we submitted rediculously large number of cards each week and I honestly felt I receieved the same grading before I worked for him as well as after. Now the last 3-5 years I do feel they have gotten overly tough as a general rule. I think the 5.5 was supposed to be an mc and there was a data entry error, as someone who has actually done this I can tell you it happens. Those grades are all pathetic but like i said I see them as mistakes, we could show similar items from every company I gaurantee it. As for BVG, i trust Beckett very little on finding alterations, just my personal opinion. I know Leon has stated they've greatly improved in this area and I hope so as I've seen some atrocities in Beckett holders.

Anyone want to show the millions of cards (or more) that are graded correctly? I thought not.

It's hard to be sure, but every card in the group appears to have what
may be frosted edges on the holder, except for the Bescher which looks
to have been graded correctly. The Home Run Baker is impossible to tell
from the scan, as it is scanned against a white background.

I'm not saying that PSA doesn't make horrible mistakes -- I've seen them --
but every card in this "poll" (other than the Baker and the Bescher) could
be residing within a compromised holder (ie. could've been switched out
with a different card). Just an observation.
