Wrinkles in PSA 5s

[CMIZ5290]

I must say that it amazes me how much more critical alot of people seem to be of psa versus sgc on this forum. To me, sgc overgrades much more than psa on t206s, way more. I have seen many, many sgc graded t206s on this site that blow me away on the grades they received. The fact of the matter is this, psa graded t206s will always bring a significant premium over comparable sgc graded cards. By the way, i have alot of sgc graded t206s as well as Psa. Ask the major auction house owners which ones they would rather sell....

My guess is that you're more concerned about corners than wrinkles. SGC is definitely more tolerant of slightly rounded corners in an EX holder, but that's fine for me because I always understood EX to allow mild corner damage -- but no bloody wrinkles!

Do you have any T206 SGC 60s or higher with a wrinkle?

Not only wrinkles, but any other flaw. That's been my experience.

A small paper inclusion that allowed a pinhead of ink to wear off? 40

A bend, not even a wrinkle. Just barely visible when moved under light at an angle as a change in glossiness from one angle to another. But perfect centering and like new corners? 50

tiny flake off one corner? 50

But then I see some with nearly VG corners in 60 holders.

I feel like where PSA might be more generous with a wrinkle issue SGC is far more generous when it comes to assigning grades to cards that are off center. I've seen a lot of SGC 84 cards that are off center that I don't think would receive a 7 from PSA.
