its also pretty hard to post a card online and ask people to critique the grade when they cant actually see the card or the surface, because its a 2d scan.

all the grading companies make mistakes. ive seen lots of random youtube videos of someone getting a 4 or 5, cracking it and re-sending, and then getting a 7 or 8. it happens. but again, we are talking about insane volume, there will be mistakes. plenty of people also dont examine their own cards with a 30x loupe and check the surface for issues before sending.

i've probably graded 500-600 cards with PSA and 300-400 cards with SGC. ive had cards come back that look like they are too low or higher than i thought, but ive never had an order of 20 cards come back where every card is 2 grades off.

Yes, of course one would expect some deviances within any order, I would not have made my statement if that's all it was. As for the scan, I was asked to post it, I am not asking anyone to conclude anything. I think there were 35 cards in my order, all vintage. Nearly every one was 2 grades low. Nothing higher than 6 and I thought many would 8 or even 9 they were gorgeous cards.
