What's the difference??

[lharri3600]

i'm kind of stumped as to why one card received a numercial grade and the other authentic???? and please don't tell me it's the paper loss on back. input needed

Maybe the Young was trimmed beyond the obvious corners?

Or maybe the corners being cut rather than ripped off counts as altered instead of damaged?

Just a couple guesses.

Corners on young are cut off corners on killian are ripped off. its that simple.

This may sound like a dumb question, but if that's the case couldn't he just rip a thin piece of paper off each corner of the Young and get a numerical grade then?

Doug- it's actually a smart and obvious question.

I don't think it's a dumb question. I've never felt that, at this end of the grading spectrum, the value of a PSA 1 is ALWAYS more than a PSA A. I think the appearance of the card becomes the driving factor.

And if you're doing the registry thing... you're probably not buying either.

You could do that and probably get a numerical grade. Its just like a psa 1 mk you can rip off the mk part of the back of a card and now get a psa 1 and the card looks much worse. Like Jim VB said at this end of the spectrum you are not necessarily going to get any more for an Authentic grade then a 1 2 or even 3 sometimes. Eye appeal definetly comes into play at that point.
