Default Is the Grading System Broken?

Posted By: T206Collector

"SGC has too much of an incentive to claim that PSA wrongly slabbed his cards."

I had 40 PSA 4-6 T206 cards submitted as crossovers to SGC. When they would not cross a card over, 10 of my 40 would not cross, they circled the problem area of the card on a plastic sleeve in which the PSA slab was enclosed, and provided a description of the reason why. In every single case it was obvious once pointed out to me what the problems were. Not a single time did I go, "Huh, maybe SGC got this one wrong." From a hairline crease in a PSA 6 I never noticed, to a trimmed edge that I always suspected was trimmed but had given PSA the benefit of the doubt, these were not hard calls. It is not like SGC is going to be performing rocket science on these cards. As Jim has previously admitted, even he can point out which ones are problem T206 cards. Getting SGC to agree that there is a problem is nothing more than a confirming opinion of skepticism about a PSA grade.
