Default Bvg

The caveat with cards that seem too seriously undergraded is that they might have other problems. You might want to examine it more closely. I cracked out a PSA 4 card which I submitted that I thought was at least a 6, maybe a 7, and it came back Authentic Altered.

BVG has the toughest slabs to crack. These are the ones which worry me the most when I try to open as I might damage the card just trying to get the slab open.

I've noticed at the low end, BVG has grade inflation or at least is overly generous with the Good (2) grade. I had a 1924 Willard's Ruth that was BVG 2, and cracked out to PSA 1. Here is a scan of a Harrington Ruth (w/ the wrong flip) that I fully expect go to PSA 1. In fairness, I also cracked out a Sports King Ruth in BVG 2, which went to PSA 2.5.
