I saw this card being discussed in chats for the opposite reasons.

I see the smudged right corner, but is this a 2?

I have often thought it would be good to assign a “technical grade” and a “visual appeal” grade. I mean there MUST be something going on with this card that isn’t visible in a 2D scan, right? It’s either that, or, this was an actual error and this card is not actually supposed to be a 2. I feel those are really the only 2 possibilities.

I suspect this one is a 2 because of the V shaped paper loss next to the corner ding on the back. That still feels too harsh though, seems to easily merit the 3 at least on the technical scale.

Cards that look like this are why I can never picture myself going high grade. The tiny visual difference is just not worth it.

If the Volpe card was a T206, would it be a 2?

Maybe I'm missing it somewhere, but I've not seen written evidence from the TPGs that they grade older cards and newer cards on different scales.

Beckett had a vintage division BVG not sure if they still do. They said they grade vintage(1980 and back) different.

Compare that 2 to the recent SGC 3 Ruth and tell me how that makes any sense at all.

I can't. Card grading is so interesting PT Barnum himself wouldn't be able to believe how it actually works.

They still do. And that would be quite the understatement. They don’t grade cards within shouting distance of the standards used by PSA and SGC. Most BVG 5’s would be lucky to get a PSA 3.

I’m still convinced that PSA grading varies depending on how many cards you submit/have submitted to them for grading. Just saying…
