Jim,I also feel that your Young card deserved a better grade than that-that card is awesome.Even with a spider wrinkle on Andrews card,I still feel it deserved a better grade.I have sent in cards that I for sure thought would come back at least a 40,and they came back a 30.I've also sent in a GAI slabbed T206 graded a 3,and it came back SGC 50,,,,,,,,,,,as far as grading goes,I feel SGC is the best at overall grading-they are the only ones I have grade my raw cards.Andrew,bottom line is-you still have one beautiful looking card there(and it didn't come back an"A')........regards,Clayton

Amen to that. I do think Jims card is well deserving of a 60. Thats how it works though

Pup I don't see how that card could have come in a 5 or 60 with a small crease some minor loss on the left side edge and the stain or mark on the back. I'd say you are lucky it didn't come in at SGC 40 which it easily could have if you ask me.

Unfortunately, the grade is correct technically. Ya' can't get a 5, generally speaking, with any wrinkles. It's just that easy. I think the grading companies are caught between a rock and a hard place on some cards. IN the end they have to give the technical grade or there would be less consistency. We all have cards like this one in question. They are great collector cards but aren't great for the registry game....regards

As most of us have said many times and here is a great case in point, Buy the card not the grade.

All I've gotten out of this thread is that I still covet Jim's purple Young. Anytime you're ready to sell Jim - you know where to reach me

Straight from the SGC page. Sometimes I think they forget their own scale.

70 EX+ 5.5 A 60 EX 5 card with higher grade centering or corners.

60 EX 5 80/20 or better centering, minor rounding or fuzzing of corners, roughness or chipping along edge (no layering), one VERY slight surface or "spider" crease may exist on one side of the card, gloss may be lost from surface with some scratching that does not detract from the aesthetics of the card.

50 VG/EX 4 85/15 or better centering, corners are slightly rounded with modest surface wear. Light hairline crease may show on one or both sides. A light tear or surface break may exist.

I would say Jim needs to send in his card again with a few others in the 4 range and comparables may make the card stand out and get the bump.
