It looks almost like they were pulled from the same binder whenever that was. Is it because the paper loss is only on the side?
Thoughts?

I don't think that SCP Cobb should be in a 2 holder it should be a 1 or 1.5 at the most.

For some reason if the paper loss is small enough SGC will give a grade as high as a 40 or 50. I have a Cracker Jack with a small spot on the white boarder that I had them review and they still said it was a 40.

On the Ritter, I wonder if it is paper loss or was never printed?

Lastly, where paper loss is does matter, ie if it is in a white area or if there is no text removed they will not hit it as hard.

Ironically I think they are very tough of paper loss on blank back cards.

For small paper loss on the back, I have seen cards graded SGC 40 or 50 as well.

The paperloss on the SCP Cobb card is pretty significant though and it probably should not grade higher than SGC 20 or 30.

Thank you , Thats all I was trying to figure out. I wasnt saying mine is a 2. I believe it is a 1 and only a 1(with good apeal for a 1) Im going to say 1 1 more time and thats my #1 point(1 for you and 1 for me). Nothing higher. But with the auction I just saw I just wanted to get an idea of what they grade on. Thanks for all the examples. And it looks like a card can have paper loss and still be a 4.

As far as the cards in my collection which have great fronts and tiny paper loss on the back, SGC is far tougher than PSA. Just my experiences.

with Bob, i have had very tough grading on paper loss from sgc.
in fact, i've been shocked again and again when what i thought were 40's and 50's come back 20's with very small paper loss.

I agree with the consensus here: PSA sometimes goes very easy on paper loss, especially when compared with SGC. I've seen a PSA 6 card with paper loss on the back.

How many graders does it take to grade a card if there all following the same company standers..? hmm

Let take a closer look at the high volume submitters
