T202 Grading
Posted By: Lee Behrens
Hello everyone, I have a fair number of T202s. I have seen cards graded by PSA and SGC, and man are they tough on the grading for most of them. I occasionally sell cards but never provide a grade, just a description. I am not sure how to grade the cards, they have there quirks, miscuts,fold lines, ding on top center (which I have seen graded EX by SGC),print lines. I even have one card that has a fold line in the middle of the center panel (let me know if anyone has seen that before). |

That's card no. 7, Birmingham Gets to third. To me, it looked just that--ex-mint. well-centered, good color and register, a really tiny bit of dirt in the creases in the back--and some tiny mark on the back. Nice corners, but at least one showed slight wear. |

The fold line down the middle is common. If you fold the two end panels over the center panel, as was intended, the cards meet at the middle of the center panel. From there, a lot of kids undoubtedly folded the card again to make a standard T-card sized accordian fold. I have had several of these. |

It wasn't the kids; it was their fathers. Picture grabbing a handful of card out of your cigarette pack. It's got these built-in creases, but when it's stretched out, it's too long to fit in your jacket pocket. Having once opened it, instead of taking the trouble to carefully fold the card back up the way it should be, you shrug and fold the thing in half and cram it in your pocket. |

Hi Julie, I do have about 15 duplicates in lower grades, but are very presentable cards. I have bought a couple of lots, the last lot I bought had 20 cards, I thought I needed 8, as it turned out I only needed 5. I have about 70 different, haven't counted exact number latley. If you are interested in trading, let me know. |

I've never seen a center fold line, factory made, on a T202. But I suppose a man, or a machine, could have made a sheet or two before being stopped. What do they call the machines? Guillotines? |
