The Baugh is an upgrade from my PSA 4 and I think it cost me the same so no harm there. The Thorpe is the card I've been wanting for awhile. Its a tough one to find centered and not beat to hell. This one is slightly off centered maybe 70/30 but it doesn't have the tilt. It has an indentation as if it had been written on hence the lower grade, other than that its a decent pickup.
