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

jhpfunk

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.

One of the biggest almosts ever.

While ugly the first 86 Ryan was worse as was the Yzerman

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.

Um, I've seen WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than that.

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!

Estil, what part of the bolded don't you understand?

I think the fact that we don't get 'em pisses people off a bit.
