Josh K.V117Collector - low grades on decent looking vintage cards should not be a surprise whether graded by psa or sgc. That is not evidence of the grading companies being corrupt (nor is this post intended to imply that psa is corrupt). If you are new to the hobby (as opposed to just this board) you will soon realize that very minor things can hurt the grade of an otherwise outstanding looking vintage card. If you submit to sgc and your card has a wrinkle that can only be seen with magnification - its going to get no better than a 40 in almost all circumstances. If it has a spec of paperloss its unlikely to receive higher than a 30 no matter how nice it looks.
