Interesting Crossover

Maybe I'm naive, but this shocks me.

I sold this card in a 40 holder:



And now she's been auctioned off in a PSA 4 holder in an upcoming auction in June:



Any comments? I still maintain SGC is the toughest. And I wonder if PSA still gives preferential treatment to certain dealers lik ethey did 5 years ago.

How does that card get a 4? Three rounded corners and staining on the front!

I'll say you're naive. Just from the scan it looks like either a pretty nice 3 or a marginal 4. Perhaps they both got it right. There's really no definitive line between grades on a scale. What's a 3 today might be a 4 tomorrow and maybe even rejected the next day. As one who submits to PSA, I assure you: Nothing's shocking.

Looks like a good candidate for a 3.5, but I don't think a huge error has been made in giving it a 4.

Does not surprise me. Psa is more lenient in their grading.
