    I'd have no problem with a wrinkle on that 2nd Cobb...

    Cripes... night and day!

    I notice the PSA numbers are quite a bit apart, could that be a contributing factor here (not that it should be)?

    I do not have a ton of PSA material and the stuff I have tends to be newer, so my experience is pretty limited. Any of you more prolific PSA collectors have any insight as if you believe PSA grading has, on a whole, gotten stricter or looser over the years?

    Anyone else have any side by side comparisons on par with these two? If so, I know I would love to see them.

    i believe this is about as tremendous a disparity as you'll ever witness within that same psa grade!
    and, their respective final bids cannot be ignored... $1825 vs. $4151

    wrinkles/creases/folds, ultra-tiny though they may be,
    bring PSA penalties down upon thee and me.

    The left one looks overgraded. Normally that amount of paper loss at a corner brings you down to a 3.

    Wow that one on the right is nice. I wonder how the back is?

    I am assumng the one on the right has some type of surface wrinkle that does not show up on the scan? If not, it looks like it might be undergraded by a grade or two. Regardless, and with our without a wrinkle, it still looks tons better than the card on the left.
