Can anyone explain grading and paperloss?
Posted By: Patrick McHugh
After thinking about this i wanted to know what everyone else thinks. A card with a spot of paperloss on back is downgraded to a 2 or 1. And yet as an example a t205 with border chipping can be a 4-6. Am i missing something? Is not the missing gold border also paperloss? Discus. |

are often underrgraded, as I have seen back paper loss get 3's and 4's, so the grading companies are quite inconsistent on this. 2 options: resubmit or refuse to take a price not less than a "4" (where there is minimal back paper loss and card presents as a "7" or better). |

That's an excellent point Patrick, and I would go so far as to say the paper loss to the gold border is more significant than a similar amount of loss to the back. But I think you need to bring this up with one of the professional graders. They have a policy and it's fair for you to ask them to explain it. |

I agree that chipping on the gold borders is, essentially, paperloss. For some reason however, the graders do not treat chips the same as paperloss elsewhere on a card. |

A small chip in an unprinted area on an otherwise really nice card should not automatically drop the card to good or worse. The same small chip across the guy's eyes should drop it to a fair at best or even poor grade. I happen to think that the graders at SGC have been consistently inconsistent on chips. Here are three cards with chips. Guess the grades: |

My guess, The gold border is simply brittle paint. No paper loss involved. I had a Marquard with chipped edges and it scored an SGC 60. |

It's probably an issue of practicality. If the grading companies were to treat border chipping the same as paper loss the already condition difficult sets like T205 and T210, for instance, would rarely have a card graded above good. It would be very discouraging. |

There are some really beautiful E93s in circulation in the hobby which appear like 5s and 6s which have some minor (and I do mean minor) paper chipping in their borders which SGC graded as 10s. |

back damage is not as bad than having some on the front, I know SGC lowers the grade a bit more than PSA does - stated above it really depends on were the paper loss is located - remember you are buying the card and if it looks good and is nice for display - there is nothing wrong with buying a 1 or 2 graded card |

I'll take these kind of cards all day long. Great looking cards IMO I can get cheap. |

tbob - you are correct. There are quite a few nice looking e93s with minor chipping or back damage. You also have a good memory as I own or have owned many of the cards you are thinking about. The Joss and Griffith (no longer own) have minor back damage: |
