PCG = Poor Card Grading?

Talk about misleading the public. If this turkey has "8" quality borders, I'll eat it! They almost seem rounded [especially when you super-size the picture]. Maybe a PSA 4.

Always looking for 1957 Topps BB in PSA 9!

    Remember that there is a reason it is in
    this holder and not a PSA or BVG holder.

    Clearly the seller knows the value and importance
    of having a card graded (and in high grade no less)
    but in spite of that he chooses these guys ??

    Let's be honest. This card is not ever going to get
    a PSA 4. It will more likely be one of these:


    N-1 Evidence of Trimming - When a card’s edge has been altered, a card doctor may use scissors, scalpel, cutter, or any other cutting instrument. A trimmed card may show one of the following: Hook up or down, have one razor sharp edge, a difference in toning along the edge, a wavy look.
    N-2 Evidence of Restoration - When a card’s paper stock is built up - for example, when ripped corners are built up to look like new corners.
    N-3 Evidence of Recoloration - Where a card’s color has been artificially improved.
    N-4 Questionable Authenticity - This is the term used when a card is counterfeit.
    N-5 Altered Stock - This term is used when the paper stock is altered in one or more of the following ways: Stretching and trimming, recoloring and restoring, trimming and recoloring, restoring an trimming, crease or wrinkle is pressed out, or gloss is enhanced.
    N-6 Minimum Size Requirement - When a card is significantly undersized according to factory specifications.
    N-7 Evidence of Cleaning - When a whitener is used to whiten borders or a solution is used to remove wax, candy, gum or tobacco stains.
