PSA 5 with paper loss?

[danmckee]

Thanks for posting this Scott! I saw this but if I posted it they would think I was busting grading.

NO WAY this is a 5, NO WAY!

Thanks Kevin and Dan. I hesitate to post this sort of thing for the same reason, but I really am trying to better understand both PSA's and SGC's grading.

Probably should have been a 3.

If someone can help me post a scan on net54, i would like to show a card going the other way on grading. I have a t206 george brown (wash) that is graded a psa 2. It looks like a psa 7 with the exception of a tiny, tiny tape mark on the back that does not even take off any of the paper!

Scott saw that card was excited because it looked good was ready to bid but then saw that and said ouch don't need that timebomb.

Haha - well-put.

I prefer a card that looks great, but has a horrible grade (as long as I didn't send it in). I just crack it out and let it speak for itself.

I'm posting the 'massive' version, so you can see how horrible this card really is:

" 5 " for that card is absurd. I seem to remember reading an article once in SMR from Joe Orlando himself stating that any card with paper loss would never grade any better than a "2"

Agreed, there are some nice cards out there with minimal damage that kill the grade.
