Thoughts on SGC Grading

[G1911]

I think the 2.5 is overgraded, but the 2 is correct. There is a fairly heavy crease running all the way across the card around his knees, it appears, that branches into 2 creases. To me, a light crease or wrinkle, a little pen mark on back, some stains, round corners, that's a Very Good. Good has corners that are pretty bad, or a 'full' crease like this, or other kinds of heavier damage that keep the card complete and not fragile.

Fair has a missing corner, a pin hole, something missing, the creasing or damage is heavy and repeated. Poor = the structural integrity of the card is threatened or a huge chunk is missing, or the card is heavily altered.

VG-EX = no crease, maybe a slight wrinkle.

Excellent = no creasing or wrinkling whatsoever, no more than small staining from the original product packaged with only, corners that are close to sharp. AKA not a card in my collection

Near Mint = Mint, except a slight flaw on close examination.

Mint = perfect, exceptionally rare in any set.

Gem Mint = something made up by people to make more money.

Pristine = Gem Mint worked, so let's do it again. Set up the money counter.

Pristine+ = Coming 2022
