Grading head scratchers

I feel your pain. Not sure why this Bench graded a 2.5 as the back is clean and cannot see any creases. Some grades just don't add up. Post a pict of your 55 Robinson I would love to see it.

That Bench card seems to make no sense.

Whenever i see something like that Bench, i immediately inspect the white areas for a hint of paper loss. The 2.5 grade is what you would wxpect from such a situation from an otherwise nice looking card.

Just to the right of B on the hat. A spot?

That spot isn't on the card (glare from the pic).

The grade for the Musial is even more confusing to me though. They must have their reasons for the Robinson or even the Bench, but that 3.5 seems really odd for Stan
