Old Judges have never been graded the way they should be. It's been a good talking point for years.

Funny thing is, it probably would have been downgraded if the same stain was on the back instead of the front.

Leon-That isn’t an example of the quirks of Old Judge grading—the graders just missed the staining. Bad job by them.
Todd-I’m sure you are right. The stains would have been more obvious on the back, although most Old Judge collectors couldn’t care less if they were. |

Jay - you know these photographic cards as well or better than anyone. Out of curiosity, what do you think the accurate grade should be on this card?

Kevin-I know more about what I like than grading. That staining would annoy me a lot more than, for example, paper loss on the back of the card. For an Old Judge card, as you know, photo clarity/visual appeal is paramount. I would call it VG or G/VG if I had to grade it.
