The worst PSA 10 graded card I have ever seen...

1979 Tiant PSA 10???

I gotta say, there are always rants about PSA giving out undeserved PSA 10 grades to the big companies, but this takes the cake. Have you ever seen a crappier PSA 10? If so, let's see it.

    Not even close to worse ever, did you see that Yzerman OPC card in the other thread?? Yes there is a slight tilt to the card, though that is common for that year. Not sure how tilt fits within the guidelines for a PSA 10.

    Absolutely! That is well within the limits of a PSA 10. I know some people would like to see 50/50 centering on a 10, but PSA does allow a certain tolerance.
  • OK. I just saw the Yzerman. That grade was clearly a mistake. This one is just not acceptable. I know PSA as well as the other companies allow for a touch of off-centering, but the tilt makes it not gem worthy.
  • so 4sc gets another gift whats the big deal they submit more cards then anyone else..............

    And also to quote from PSA's own Gem Mt 10 standard:
    A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.

    That doesn't make sense. I thought the whole point of a PSA 10 (or in the old pre-slabbing days Mint condition) was that it was a PERFECT card with no flaws whatsoever.

  • I don't think a tilt like that is a slight priniting imperfection.

    That Tiant is not bad at all. I guess the POP 1 card got a couple of extra 10s recently because I picked up a 10 from 4SC for $49 a couple of weeks ago.

    This card meets criteria, easily.

    talk to David Rayter (wcsports1) about how to get PSA 8s --> PSA 10.

  • That TIANT card is not all that bad IMHO. I'd love to see it's competition!image
