Grading question... why hammering Hank??
Morning all
I’d appreciate some N54 experienced input on how graders technically grade cards - specifically, I am unclear why Hank is getting Hammered here with only a 3.5 SGC grade I guess either I don’t have a very good eye or I just don’t yet know the technical grading principals well enough. I do see a line extending from Hank’s mouth toward the bottom of the card. I included a blow up of that area. Appreciate your thoughts.... otherwise, the edges, corners and image quality look pretty good to me (the centering is not great, but I don’t think would drop the grade this low - right?) Thx for taking a look Jeff |

The centering is an issue here, and not sure if there are any other surface issues? Or what the back looks like

Btw, beautiful card, one of my favorites, as I own a raw one. 56 is one of my favorite Topps sets.
But I don't think you posted this is in the correct forum Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk |

Well, it's a post-1945 card, so the post-war baseball forum. But it's a generic question, so it's not too out of place here. There isn't a specific grading forum on this board.
As to your question, the print line is probably not bringing it all the way down. There is probably a crease you're not seeing, or SGC has swung the pendulum the other way and is really discounting the 85/15ish centering both directions.

Yeah, hard to say with the small pictures, but the centering definitely holds it back some. Either way, it's a beautiful card!

A few years ago I had a brief talk with one of the guys from SGC about a couple cards that recieved puzzling grades.
Neither had one glaring defect that made it lose grades, but a few small things that added up. He explained that it was a cumulative thing, so perfect card with iffy centering might be a 5, but add some other small defect and it would be 4.5, another.. down to 4 Cards like this can be the tricky ones, centering holds it back, plus a small print defect, plus maybe whatever else. Technical grade aside, it's a really nice card. One I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade. I've always thought more of how well it's preserved than how well it was made. (Unfortunately for me in many cases. ) |
