Why grade a card missing a HUGE chunk?

Or maybe it came with a colection already graded.
Anyone who has bought a collection of any real size knows that there are usually at least a handful of items that are pretty bad/odd. So I can see them buying a batch of T cards and getting a bunch of nice ones and this one. I still have my first T206, and it's not much better. If not for the tape it would be worse. I won't be grading it, but If I was determined to have all my t-206s in the same graded holders I'd have to send it in.

I have sent and will continue to send beaters (some of which are missing portions of the card) to SGC for grading for my personal collection. I generally collect lower grade specimens, especially for my E95 and E96 sets, and I like to have them encapsulated by SGC for presentation, protection, and so that I can use the set registry.

That being said, it seems a bit unnecessary if the purpose of the grading is for resale.

I like how it's listed as a PSA 0.

I'd give it a PSA negative 0.25

They should put it on sale 25% off.

When I see listings like this that I know are ridiculously overpriced I'm certain that all the sellers items are overpriced and move on.
