That card presents very well in the scan for an 6.5 card  |
...Sometimes the punch holes on '60's cards indicated how each brother knew whose cards were whose.....and also indicated that at least one of the brothers had a paper route and collected the bill every Friday and punched the customers' card for that particular week to indicate payment.
...As for subgrades affecting final grade , : I've noticed that "corners" is almost always the lowest of the four subs , and the final grade is usually determined by that sub......they usually went point five higher for the final if , and it's a big "If" , all the other three grades were higher than the corners grade......if there were any two grades of the same number , then that was also the final grade 99% of the time; few people submitted to Beckett a second time in the 1990's. PSA and SGC gave easier and higher grades for the identical cards.
