Damaged in holder. What grade would you assign

[darwinbulldog]

this card?

And what do you predict for the winning bid?

I have zero doubt it got damaged during the slabbing process. It looks like a '2'. I can't predict where it will land, because most people bid on the label and not the card.

How the heck could that happen in a holder? During slabbing seems like the only possibility. I'd be ticked.

OUCH! I submitted a 86 Jordan for a friend years ago and they graded it an 8 OC despite putting a huge ding in the middle. Not fun.

I'd probably grade that a 2 with the damage as well. Here is my SGC 2.5 that has a slight back crease and front wear, but otherwise a beauty. It only gets the .5 due to the excellent centering.

+1 agree I would be upset also. That card would not grade as a 5 now. In my uneducated opinion I would agree with a 2. Shame the rest of the card is really good looking and the grading of the 5 would have seemed warranted

Depends on how that corner looked before they mucked it up even worse. If it looked like the other 3, it would not have looked out of place in a '6' or '7'.

I may be too harsh, but there is paper separation and if the card regrades I think you are looking at a 1.

“ light corner wear (please note the damage to the top right corner where the top layer of paper has partially detached)”

That’s one way to say it. Light.

I wouldn’t find that surprising in the least.

very good point Robert it is just we do not know what the before was only the after and it is sad because it is a beautiful card and there is a big drop in value from a 7 or 5 to now
