Help understanding psa grading
I usually don’t do too much with cards but I had this 33 Gehrig for a few years and noticed that they have to be graded to bring decent money I assume due to the number of reprints. I took it to psa at the national and it got a lower grade than I thought it would 1.5 fair. I looked at other cards with this grade and they have stains and are generally not attractive as mine. After comparing some I did notice mine is not centered well. Is that why the 1.5? Am I wrong in thinking it should have higher and in thinking many cards with same grade look worse?

At that low of grade, the centering probably played very little part. If it was a PSA 4 and the rest of the card was PSA 8 worthy, you could chalk it up to centering. A Fair card would not be much higher with better centering.

TPG's grading is inaccurate and not consistent being the personal opinion of the person employed by a TPG which means nothing ! Its a non regulated Industry that has no one to answer to, but still all the sheep waste their money getting cards graded

Like Pete suggested, if those white spots are paper loss, the highest grade it would have received in my experiences would be a 2. Still good eye appeal and a good example why folks should buy the card and not the holder.
