Frank,

I'm not sure if you've read the rules of this community web site/bull board. If you start a contest you have to offer a vintage card with a value of >$100 as a prize. The rule was put in place to ensure to increase participation in the contest. So, what's the prize?

One quick question - we are making a lot of assumptions about the cards being shown. Can we assume that there are no small creases (or other imperfections besides what's visible in the pictures/scans) on either card?

Fred,

Okay, I'll throw in my Cobb, that's Reggie Cobb.

2.5 and 2

[FrankWakefield]

PSA 1 and PSA Authentic....


It would be easier to opine as to the grade of each of the cards, than it would be to guess or divine the grades that PSA assigned.

Both are 2's

I'll whirl.....

The Schmidt appears to have glue stains on the back side. Thus, it got hammered by an experience grader who mercifully gave it a "2." While the Duffy, despite the obvious tobacco(?) stains and rounded corners received a "2.5" by some rookie grader who had only been on the job for a week,

By the way, I totally concur with what Fred said in the previous post.

Lovely Day...

Iggy, I was on the same wavelength, but thought 2 and 1.5. Ouch

[AndyG09]

I don't do too well on guessing PSA grades, but based on what I've seen.....

Duffy 6

Schmidt 3.5

Thanks for the contest!

Best,

Andy

Visually the Duffy is a 2 and the Schmidt is a 5...but I suspect they are both the same grade, and that is the point of the contest.
