I think a huge part of it is the grader, for real. Check out this Bastian that just sold on eBay not too long ago - looks quite small to me (trimmed), but still received a letter grade. SGC is usually pretty good about this, I bet this one slipped through their fingers. What do you think, Ted?

Congrats on the Jennings Ted, that is a big difference.

I would LOVE to see you resubmit the Plank (that is a truly stunning card, btw).

The Plank has color added. I think it would be a waste of money. On a card where it is close on size like the AB, I can see taking a chance at getting a number grade.

I have never really evolved from the grading of the 1970's. I would still call the T215 "g" and the T214 "mint'...

That Plank is a great card. I'd hate to put it in the mail, but you could always have it reviewed at a show.

I guess it depends on the person, grading the card.

Hi Rob

Your Sweeney is absolutely the nicest T214 that I have seen.

Try re-submitting it....you may luck out this time.

Yeah, what's the deal with that T214...does it measure short? My only guess is slight trimming.

The Sweeney looks great but I suspect the A is because the bottom border is a little concave.

Default Bastian--
Pardon my temerity,
but that Bastian looks okay to me.

It's a "diamond cut" for sure, but the top and bottom sides are parallel and the corners look okay; that's why I'd think that it's untrimmed. It might be slightly short, but not unusually so.

Just my opinion on it.

It does appear to be on short side (top to bottom), as is evident by the gap in the upper part of the SGC frame.

The SGC grader probably had a hectic day grading 100's of cards, and this one was graded near the end of the day.
