Default PSA Grading fails yet again.
After looking on Ebay today, I found a t206 John Frill American Beauty 460. The card was graded a 2, while on the front it is missing a large amount of paper. I have PSA 2's that should be graded 3's and 4's, something doesn't seem right here.

Here is the link to the card: http://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-America...item2c66523e04

Yeah, I noticed that one too. Really awfully assignment of a grade to that card. So many 2's get the designation simply for rounded corners, and this one has major paper loss and also rates as GOOD. Where's the quality control?

Exactly! PSA is just not my company to grade with. That's why I truly enjoy SGC, because they take the time to designate a 2 from a 3. And for sure, that card would be a 1-1.5 if it were SGC graded.

I think the seller is a member here. You have to appreciate his honesty in the description, "Please pay attention to the condition of front."

I don't think that SGC would give that card a 1.5 grade once if it was submitted 1,000 times.

Nothing against the seller, I read the description, and I am happy to see he is an honest member. I am just trying to point out PSA's grading job, and how it seems to not be up to par here. Thank you.

Maybe PSA thought the missing paper was a tumbleweed?

Well the reason why It's significant is because It's an American Beauty 460 back. So in this case, a good amount.

In the grand scheme of misgraded wagners and planks...this is insignificant...

Well pardon me then. I mean It's not like any of can afford those cards, rather let's focus on what we can.

I'm confused. At which grade is it okay to overlook PSA mistakes and at which grade should we be concerned?
