Whats the story on grading when there is paper loss?

[cobblove]

I have this cobb as yall helped me out earlier. It has paper loss on the back and has decent corners with no creases. I know its not a 1 or higher, But how do they grade paper loss? Could this be a 1.5 SGC? Or is it just right? And my question was brought up because of this card just sold at SCP auctions. It looks almost like they were pulled from the same binder whenever that was. Is it because the paper loss is only on the side?
Thoughts?

From what I have read in the past PSA is much tougher on paper loss then SGC.

I had a Cobb a few years ago, a Caramel card, w fairly nice corners and centering and no creases, but it did have some paper loss on front, and got a PSA 1, which I didnt think it deserved. Their standards are difficult indeed.

I will disagree with PSA being tougher on paper loss. I purchased an M116 sight unseen in a PSA 3. Paper loss was the only thing I didn't expect. SGC will grade paper loss up to a 30/2. Though the seller chose not to mention the paper loss, I still blame PSA for the misrepresentation. The grade goes against all of their self-acclaimed standards. My speculation on the Cobb is that it probably would make it into a 20/1.5 with SGC. Good luck!

It is a pretty card to look at. For a Cobb, the grade is sometimes irrelevant, when in less than pristine condition. I would be happy to own this one as it looks so nice. Not a request to purchase by the way. Enjoy the piece.

I believe the opposite to be true.

But what about the card that I listed from SCPs auction. I brought this up because it graded a 2 and it has more than a small amount of paper loss on the back.

No way SGC gives that card a 30/2.

I've seen SGC grade a nice card with paperloss a 40.

I have done dozens of cards with paper loss for customers and dealers- SGC is the tougher on paper loss per my clients, thanksT

I don't think that SCP Cobb should be in a 2 holder it should be a 1 or 1.5 at the most.

For some reason if the paper loss is small enough SGC will give a grade as high as a 40 or 50. I have a Cracker Jack with a small spot on the white boarder that I had them review and they still said it was a 40.

On the Ritter, I wonder if it is paper loss or was never printed?

Lastly, where paper loss is does matter, ie if it is in a white area or if there is no text removed they will not hit it as hard.

Ironically I think they are very tough of paper loss on blank back cards.

For small paper loss on the back, I have seen cards graded SGC 40 or 50 as well.

The paperloss on the SCP Cobb card is pretty significant though and it probably should not grade higher than SGC 20 or 30.

Thank you , Thats all I was trying to figure out. I wasnt saying mine is a 2. I believe it is a 1 and only a 1(with good apeal for a 1) Im going to say 1 1 more time and thats my #1 point(1 for you and 1 for me). Nothing higher. But with the auction I just saw I just wanted to get an idea of what they grade on. Thanks for all the examples. And it looks like a card can have paper loss and still be a 4.

As far as the cards in my collection which have great fronts and tiny paper loss on the back, SGC is far tougher than PSA. Just my experiences.

[ethicsprof]

with Bob, i have had very tough grading on paper loss from sgc.
in fact, i've been shocked again and again when what i thought were 40's and 50's come back 20's with very small paper loss.

best,
