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:

Yeah, I couldn't believe this one either when I saw it...

That's pretty bad.

That's just a HUGE error. On a card like that I would hope they would have gotten it right. Grader had a bad day, submitter had a good day. All in all, I would hope somebody isn't dumb desperate enough to pay for that psa label. I guess it's like many people have stated, a fool and his money...

I'm sorry to say that graders will see what they want to see & do what they want to do.

" 5 " for that card is absurd. I seem to remember reading an article once in SMR from Joe Orlando himself stating that any card with paper loss would never grade any better than a "2"

That's amusing as I have a T205 McElveen I cracked out of a PSA 4 holder a couple years ago that has an oval spot of paper loss on the front about 2 or 3 mm in diameter.

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