Tenth-point grading system being considered

Vargha · January 30, 2004 11:23AM

This is what I hear from the voices in my head. I know that I have several PSA 9's that were certain 9.2's or even 9.3's if they had been graded accurately. I'm sure Joe Orlando will come on the board and try to quash this rumor by saying things like, "Everyone knows Vargha is psychotic." Or he'll try to access my sealed medical records again. But I'm telling you, those issues aside, the voices in my head are seldom wrong.

As to his comment about the point system for grading balls, I have absolutely no intention of letting him or any of the current graders touch my balls, much less have to pay them for the privilege to do so.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

David,
Unless you have met all his associates, you may have spoken in haste.
Take data.
Negotiate.

PS. At 11K posts in 30 months suggests about 13 posts a day. Every day. I suggest you seek heavy medication and take a job in corporate management. You will fit right in.

my good laugh for the day!!

David,you are passing up something here.

Meet the new head grader at PSA.

Vargha · January 30, 2004 11:41AM

Rob, I will change my mind then only if I can specify Anna. I will have to do one of those "on-site" gradings because I sure as heck am not gonna mail them in.

(typo)

what? they're not snap-on?

Vargha,

You will never get them graded because yoiu know they would only get a 2.5. Too much handling, use and abuse.

After seeing what the new head grader looks like, the touching shouldn't
be a problem.

Having them sonically sealed in the holder -- THAT'S a problem!!

Classic Thread...

Why stop with a tenth of a point scale, how about a 100 point scale ??

Isn't that what SGC, in some unclear way, originally tried to do ? The idea that an 84 is NM or a 7.0 , a 92 is NM/MT + or an 8.5, Etc. is somewhat unclear to me.

riccaboni · January 31, 2004 3:43AM

Heck, why not just make it a hundreth of a point grading system. Nothing like those 73.21's...

Will PSA reject them if they are trimmed?

Don't you know anything about baseball, Nick? I would only be submitting hardballs (and then again, only to Anna the new grader).

NickM · January 31, 2004 5:24AM

Vargha - yes, but she would probably give yours an OC qualifier.

Nick

Vargha · January 31, 2004 5:29AM

Geez Nick, we'd probably be looking at the dreaded "ST" qualifier after she was done examining them.

jimrupprecht · January 31, 2004 6:01AM

If she's a grader, I'm gonna submit myself to be "graded" and "slabbed."

As for me I dont believe I would be happy with the initial grade so I would be forced to resubmit over and over and over...

Dhjacks · January 31, 2004 1:38PM

I was going to have mine crossed over, but I get that hot pain thing in my lower belly. I'll just keep 'em slabbed with BVD.
