THat Hinchman makes me fear another WIWAG fiasco is going on. 2 or 3 graders and an encapsulator cannot all miss the centering on this.

The graders must have thought the Hinchman was a 1954 Topps at first.

As Jim said, it's sort of hard to believe those grades. I would seriously be checking the seams on the holders. If they are correct and entered into a PSA database (I presume they have one), then their graders must have had an off day when grading those? regards

Sure looks like five overgraded cards.

A very crafty, poignant way of showing how PSA is awful.

You might as well have sent these cards to BCCG.

BCCG wouldn't grade those and BVG would have got them correct.

There's a recent thread on the PSA forum where the posters think that cases like the Hinchman are data entry errors: Linky

I think the Bescher is actually okay. The paper loss cards are bad, but I think the most hideous miss is actually the Lajoie. Unless it's another data entry error, I don't know how they could miss such an obvious MK qualifier.

Yea, it was a joke...

You send in a card to BCCG, they draw a number from 6-10 out of a hat and assign that grade to the card. You're essentially paying for a holder when you send to BCCG. The idea of BCCG is just funny to me, it's like that "Gem Mint" company, or those other ones that don't really even have a name - just a cheaply printed blue label with the card name. Ha...

In my short experience - I definitely agree with you about BVG. I even think BVG tends to undergrade. I have a bunch of BVG graded cards. I love the holders, and all of them are extremely presentable with grades that would probably be a grade or so higher with PSA.

Have they recently changed their policy? As of last year, they would have graded them.

I only have one thing to say, unbelievable!! Tell me that it's not who you know at psa! How can the baker get a stragiht 4?? Hinchman a 5.5?? Marquard a 5 with serious paper loss? What does this all mean? The front of lajoie at best looks like a 4 not counting the ink on the back! Come on larry, are you messing with us???? Might be 3 or 4 of the worst grades i have ever seen.

Kind of agree with leon about bvg. I actually own a few high grades, and they all are extremely sharp. Sgc seems to be much more of a mystery to me.
