new idea for grading
Posted By: Bruce Babcock
Jay's idea make a lot of sense. We've all seen PSA 6 Old Judges where the player is barely visible. This would never be acceptable in an Ichiro rookie card. We've all seen Old Judges with glue stains and slight paper loss but this can hardly be compared to the equivalent damage to Stan Musial's last Topps card with all of his career stats. The notion of averaging the front and back grades as one would with a coin makes no sense with a blank back card. I'm personally not even too fussy about cards with the same backs, like N28s. The very fact that many of these early cards were glued into albums is why they have survived with beautiful fronts. Collectors today would never do this today. Grading standards need to take collecting habits of the various eras into account in some way or other. |
