The word "Graded" as is applies to PSA & SGC item titles
Was hoping to get a few takes on the word "GRADED" being used in ebay item titles when the card is a PSA or SGC graded card but the card has only rcvd an "A" or 'authentic' designation.
There is a hermit (who I would be happy to name if provoked) who has written to us and posted here that we are "mis-using" the term 'graded' ---imagine the time on this person's hands ! SO -- I am saying the card has been 'GRADED' by a company and the grade is ..... "authentic' --- does anyone here think we are out of line using the term ? very few people use graded slabbed holdered or anything like that anyway so its not a search/browse benefit .... thanks for reading also noteworthy ...we NEVER mis-use a grand name ... we only use the proper company in the title |

Saying graded does not necessarily imply a numerical grade. I think you are fine. Doesn't mean some people won't get grumpy about it.

I agree. Technically it doesn't have a numeric grade but at least you know that the card isn't a fake.

For SGC, PSA, and Beckett I consider the "A" slabbed cards as graded. With the no name companies it does not matter what they have printed on them I just call them garbage. So an "A" would not apply to them. Just my 2 cents.

All the time, people say a card was graded an 'A.' In essence, saying something was graded simply implies it has ended up in a slab.

I wouldn't have had to repeat the third grade, if it weren't for those "F" grades.

I'd vote that technically the guy is correct, but it's just a technicality if the card is advertised and shown as being entombed as authentic. Even if my view is correct, this falls under no harm, no foul.
I note that, personally, I've always considered a trimmed or otherwise altered card as a grade of Poor. But the grading companies don't do it that way (which would circle around to why I said the guy is technically correct). Last edited by drcy; 09-16-2017 at 03:39 AM. |
