Why is this a PSA 1 ?!?!
I was thinking of getting this card re-graded as it returned a PSA 1.
I’m puzzled by the grade as it looks like a minimum 2 grade. I’ve seen worse 2s. Any opinions as to why it was graded so low? Card observations: - No major creases - Few wrinkles on the right side visible at an angle only - Decent registration - Good centering - Some staining on the back - Corners are a little soft Thanks.

The lower end of the scale is where we see the most discrepancies between grades. I could see this card being a 2, or at least a 1.5, on any given day. However, I would expect this card to sell around a 2 grade anyway, so a regrade may not really be worth the time and cost. It's a really nice card regardless of the number on the flip.
Edited to answer your question. My guess for the reason for a 1 is the accumulation of all the minor flaws added up to a 1 in the graders opinion. Last edited by DeanH3; 11-26-2020 at 10:49 PM. |

If you were a new collector unfamiliar with T-206 set then you may not know that the corners are not supposed to be rounded. |

Philosophy
Id rather own a 1 that would sell like a 2 than a 2 that would sell like a 1. Jus sayin..........

I would call it a 2. But that being said, I would also say those corner wrinkles are light creases.

I wonder if more objective grading via computers would fix a lot of the discrepancies? I understand that an “auto grading” program is in the works? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

True. Definitely could be defined as light as it’s not showing on the backside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's a nice card, but I've seen even better ones than that. Ones can be all over the place. At that level the number is meaningless and the eye appeal is everything.

I do not collect these cards and I have no interest in grading. Just neutral observation of the card as it appears. The blue lines are the probable creases and wrinkles I see.

+1. I've never understood a system that gives this card the same grade as one driven over a by a tank in the mud. With ten points to work with, TPAs should be able to create some separation between those scenarios.

I agree that a 1 is pretty harsh. I think if you sent this is to PSA 100 times, you'd get a 1.5 a higher % of the time than any other grade. I also think a 2 would be reasonable. PSA has been tougher on corners in the last couple years than they used to be. Here's a 2 in my collection where the corners caused a pretty harsh grade.

glue residue
I am guessing there is some kind of residue on the back. PSA used to default anything with residue on the back, even if it didn't cause paper loss, to a 1. That could have changed but I know that I got stung by it a couple of times.

It's a nice 1 but it doesn't shock me. Looks pretty dirty, some creasing in the corners and very rounded corners. I don't think this would get a 2 if you resubmit, maybe a 1.5.
