PSA 5 with paper loss?

CMIZ5290 · #1 01-04-2012, 01:42 PM

Scott- i agree completely. From a corner and appearance stand point, the card does appear to have a psa 7 quality. But from my experiences with psa, they normally hit a card for around 4 grades for paper loss. That you would think should make this card a psa 3 at best. PSA missed this one.

Thanks for posting this Scott! I saw this but if I posted it they would think I was busting grading.

NO WAY this is a 5, NO WAY!

Thanks Kevin and Dan. I hesitate to post this sort of thing for the same reason, but I really am trying to better understand both PSA's and SGC's grading.

Probably should have been a 3.

If someone can help me post a scan on net54, i would like to show a card going the other way on grading. I have a t206 george brown (wash) that is graded a psa 2. It looks like a psa 7 with the exception of a tiny, tiny tape mark on the back that does not even take off any of the paper!

Scott saw that card was excited because it looked good was ready to bid but then saw that and said ouch don't need that timebomb.

Haha - well-put.

I prefer a card that looks great, but has a horrible grade (as long as I didn't send it in). I just crack it out and let it speak for itself.

I'm posting the 'massive' version, so you can see how horrible

this card really is:

Agreed, there are some nice cards out there with minimal damage that kill the grade.
