Old Holders

[LincolnVT]

I hear a lot of folks talking about how tough the grading companies (primarily SGC and PSA) are these days on recent submissions. Show your cards in old SGC and PSA holders that outshine (for the grade) recently graded cards in your opinion.

I think this looks better than a lot of SGC and PSA cards in new 5 holders.

Wow. Holder looks great, although a new one would look good too. All I know is grading seems to be much tougher but that looks like a 5 plus all day - no favors there. Gorgeous.

TPGs have tightened their standards over time. But that doesn't mean some older slabbed cards are over graded. Many are but some aren't.

I think this should warrant a 2.5!

That is a BEAUTIFUL 48 Leaf Jackie. And one of my all time favorite cards. The grade looks accurate to me in an EX holder. But I'd wager my left nut that it wouldn't cross over to a 5 at PSA today. They'd undergrade that as a 4 every time now.

That may be the case (pun intended), but I still think that the color, surface, registration and centering on the old SGC 5 Jackie outshines many of the same card and issue that I have seen recently in new PSA and SGC 5 holders. Just my opinion.

Saw this post on Facebook yesterday.
It's pretty crazy how tough sgc is lately.
No way is the psa one a 6, looks like a 3 or 4.
And no way the sgc one is a 4.5 it looks like an 8.
