Why is this a PSA 1 ?!?!

I would call it a 2. But that being said, I would also say those corner wrinkles are light creases.

True. Definitely could be defined as light as it�s not showing on the backside.

It's a nice card, but I've seen even better ones than that. Ones can be all over the place. At that level the number is meaningless and the eye appeal is everything.

I do not collect these cards and I have no interest in grading. Just neutral observation of the card as it appears. The blue lines are the probable creases and wrinkles I see.

+1. I've never understood a system that gives this card the same grade as one driven over a by a tank in the mud. With ten points to work with, TPAs should be able to create some separation between those scenarios.

I agree that a 1 is pretty harsh. I think if you sent this is to PSA 100 times, you'd get a 1.5 a higher % of the time than any other grade. I also think a 2 would be reasonable. PSA has been tougher on corners in the last couple years than they used to be. Here's a 2 in my collection where the corners caused a pretty harsh grade.

I am guessing there is some kind of residue on the back. PSA used to default anything with residue on the back, even if it didn't cause paper loss, to a 1. That could have changed but I know that I got stung by it a couple of times.

Yikes. That could be a PSA 4 back in the day. Maybe there's something else I'm not seeing with the scan. But its certainly worthy of a VG 3.

It's a nice 1 but it doesn't shock me. Looks pretty dirty, some creasing in the corners and very rounded corners. I don't think this would get a 2 if you resubmit, maybe a 1.5.

Check out this 2, hahaha

Stain on front, a few bites missing, and at least a dime size paper loss on back

That looks like it should be a higher grade as well.
