My understanding was that all cards are treated equally. Obviously this isn't the case. |

Most graded between a 5 and 7. I'm sure there were some nicer, but not many. I also got a few in what Looked to be a small original collection of T cards that literally came in a small paper bag. Same top end on those. |

Just curious. How much does PSA or SGC charge to grade a card with a perceived values of $100, $1K, $10K and $100K?
I think everyone knows where I'm going with this. If the TPGs charge based on the card value ($$), then they're better off assigning higher grades. What if someone submits a card and indicates the value to be $10K but in reality, if the card is graded with a high grade and it's worth $50K. How does the TPG let the submitter know the valuation assigned by the submitter is too low? Or on the flip side, what if the submitter assigns a value of $50K to a card (they assume a high grade) and the grade is more indicative of a $10K card, then how does the TPG provide a refund in the submitter's fee that was paid for a higher valuation of the card? This is all pretzel logic to me. |

If your item turns out to be worth more than the maximum, then they upcharge you for the higher level of service that aligns with your actual value. You'll get an email, and they'll make you pay before they release your items. My experience is that they only do this in cases where the item clearly exceeds the value maximum. If your item turns out to be worth less than you expected, then you just have the pleasure of having guessed high, and you pay for a higher service level than you really needed. |
I believe PSA has graded the SGC 8.5 recently as a recent Instagram post they had has a card graded a 7 with the same exact stain or spot on the left bottom side of the card. Certification number for the newly graded card is 70609922

Pete from SGC said they are looking into it. Let's see what happens.

I'll be shocked if it end up as anything more than another example of the unholy alliance among card doctors, TPGs, and auction houses. |

Bumping this once so it can get a little more airplay before, like all the other criminality in the hobby, it fades quickly into the past. Congratulations to the elite card doctor who trimmed it, whoever graded it (twice now it seems), and whoever is covering up for the perpetrator.. It's all good.

It's terrible that there are zero consequences to this. Trimming has become so prevalent within the hobby. It's important for us to remain vigilant when it comes to purchasing, especially high graded vintage cards. I don't run into this too often, as most of the things I purchase are lower in grade, but it has an effect on the market. The higher the grade, the higher the prices, and thus the same card in worse condition ends up going up in price. But as long as the companies keep slabbing, and ebay/auction houses, allow it to happen, nothing will be done.

Once a card gets into a PSA, SGC, BVG, etc. holder, most don't give a damn. That's a well-known fact.

Ignoring what a card looks like and buying it only for the number on the slab. |

Not that they were going to do anything about it but now for sure Dave is not buying it back. Zero obligation since Team Nat decided they wanted the card in their slab. |
