Grading Question

[bobbyw8469]

A crease is pretty significant. The highest a card can get with a crease is a 1.5.

I sold this one a couple of years ago.....pretty nice '1' if you ask me!

Wish I had a scan that did not cut away the holder, but this one was auctioned in a PSA 3 holder by Mastro about ten years ago. Will try to find the catalog when I have time.

JimB & Jason - Thanks for the feedback – since I don’t have much experience with grading, I was wanting a high level of what to expect.

And FYI – this is a raw card. My scanner is old and has wrinkled some papers that I have scanned in the past. So I had an old, PSA case that I broke a card out of for another card and I laid the C. Young card in there to scan to eliminate any risk of the card getting messed up. Should have clarified this up front, but that is the reason there are PSA tabs in the scan.

Hi Robert,

That is not correct. Your card didn't just have a crease - it also had severely worn corners. Not sure where you get the 1.5 from???

I own a PSA 4 T-206 with a 3/4 inch crease...otherwise exceptionally nice.

I have lots of both PSA and SGC "3" cards with light creases.

My SGC 30 = 2 Cy Young from E90-1 has heavy paper-breaking creases across the entire card near the top...but is otherwise quite a lovely card with a very clean reverse:

This is/was a PSA-2 (9/2000 Mastro auction)

This crease was the most cost effective way for me to get a Lajoie for my '33 Goudey set. Otherwise the card has pretty nice visual appeal.
