Default Buy the card, not the grade

OK, a before and after shot. 1914 CJ Oldring #8 in that PSA 2.5 holder (that doesn't "hold" the card, hate those cheap oversized that allows the card to swim around) Anyway, I always thought it looked better than that - cracked out, resubmitted and this is what came back at the National. Obviously pleased, but goes back to the question of TPG consistency. Mistakes, opinions, time, etc - all factor in and I get that. 1/2 grade, 1 grade - sure, all the time - even 1 & 1/2 .. but this..?

Was there warping or staining on the card? I know that in the past, PSA was much tougher on stains than SGC.

Default nice eye

winner winner!
great job on judging that card.

it does look better now.

don't know why PSA uses those "baggies", I know they have plastic that fits the cj's better than that!

Nice upgrade Ed. I agree the sgc case should be its home.

Default upgrade

Looks much better and congrats! Those loose PSA holders are horrible...they remind me of one of those cheap knock-off TPG holders.

Default Staining

Staining may have played into it somewhat, although I thought that was taken into consideration and accepted as these came raw in CJ boxes (did they not?) and are pretty common. Who knows - while glad of the bump, I posted more along the lines of surprise at the amount it bumped and in question of the consistency in grading.

.. and definitely an upgrade if he ever tries to sell it!

Good on ya judging the card and not being dissuaded by the low number in the first place.. and I'm sure for getting a pretty good deal in doing so.
