So here is an interesting question; perhaps it should be it's own thread. But, for now I'll piggy back here; since PSA guarentee's their grades for lifetime; if you have a older slab PSA 10; that would never get a PSA 10 in today's world and you submit for a new holder, does it
a) get a new holder PSA 10 b) get a new holder - lower grade c) get a lower grade and you get reimbursed for the difference

If you select "review" and put a much lower grade in than the current grade, they are supposed to lower the grade. That would trigger the guarantee, and PSA would have to figure out the difference in values and reimburse you the difference. That's what I've talked about most recently in the T206 set thread that's ending tonight. Many of those 10s would be 7.5s or worse right now.

When I asked about a couple cards I thought were undergraded SGC said that the grade was cumulative. So while the ones I had were pretty nice as far as corners went and not bad for centering, they each had a small flaw or a couple flaws that reduced it to a lower grade. One I thought had a very generous grade when I really looked closely, had no other flaws. Just a light crease and some corner wear. It's VG, while the nicer looking card - well centered with better corners and a light erasure on the back is also VG. One looks better than that one doesn't.

1 means that there were standards established, but perhaps early in grading there was more gray area for graders, and graders are now more strictly adhering to the established standards. 2 means that standards were established, but have shifted since then and are now something different. 1 is a change in the graders, 2 is a change in the grading.

Honestly, I think the standards were still very subjective. A "3" could have a crease. But, you rarely find a newly-graded "3" with a crease. On the higher end, PSA seems to be grading 10s like BGS now. The old 10s are now dropping to 9s.
The most subjective piece is the half grades. There are no standards or guidelines on how these are assigned. I had a few recent subs that clearly highlight a major shift in their grading trends. I will write a specific post when I can get scans and assemble my thoughts.

And perhaps there may be a difference in the fact that as we look to the future and what grading may turn into, the two different possibilities I outlined might inform what is yet to be. |
