Which Wagner would you rather have and why?

Easy "A".

It presents so much better. The PSA graded sample looks like it had the entire boarder trimmed off which makes you wonder how it was given a numerical grade and then it would be interesting to know (I think I can guess) why the SGC example was assigned the A.

This goes back to TPGs not having a clue about certain card issues. For example, any Zeenut that had the coupon clipped is an A card, yet the TPGs continue to assign numerical grades to them. Uh, the coupon was clipped, cut off - doesn't that indicate an alteration which leads to the A on the flip? That topic has been beatin so badly that it's not beating a dead horse anymore, it's like mutilating the horse after it was beat dead.

And to reiterate - I'd take that A card any day.

SGC believes the right side has been trimmed.

SGC because it's better. Eye appeal is better of course, but even apart from that, the alteration of the PSA one is more obvious. The fact that they gave it a numerical grade is sort of beside the point.

I wonder if PSA realizes that the one it graded has been taped.
