Guess the Grade....You better than PSA?

Steviedoobie

Guess the grade? Any spots or lines you see are from my scanner. There is no trick here...both the cards have a clean surface front and back.

Mefer

9 on the left, 8 on the right.

LakersFAN

9 left, 10 right

Steviedoobie

You cheated and looked on Photobucket.

nam812

Pocket pair - 9 9.

VitoCo1972

10 left 9 right

Steviedoobie

There is no way the card on the right should get a 10......look at the centering....it's almost a PSA 9 with OC qualifier in my opinion. Oh well.....I'll take the charity.

SportsItUpCards

9 Left and 10 Right

Did I win?

Giovanni

Steviedoobie

You won!

psafan

they might be throwing darts coming up with the grades i've seen recently

Steviedoobie

I used to think grader #082 was bad but I'll take him over the last couple of graders I've had. Oh well.....it's just an opinion right? lol.

firedawg45

how can you tell what grader you got? thanks

WinPitcher

No such thing as grader 082, the cert does not match a specific grader.

Steve

LakersFAN

wOO i picked right!

larryallen73

I would have guessed 10, 9 but I meant to say 9, 10.

LakersFAN

imo the left card which got a 9 seems to have a rounded corner top left side.......which is why i gave it a 9 versus a 10...which the card on the right seems to have 4 sharpe corners....juss my 2 cents.....!

I've heard that the first three digits of the cert number is the grader? You probably know more info than I on this topic.

That could be, who knows?

I'm gona check some of mine

oc???? i am glad you are not working at psa.

btw, nice cards.

SportsItUpCards

I have grader 152.

Giovanni

Edited to add: He wasen't suck a good grader I like the grader I had before(let me get his digits )

Giovanni

SportsItUpCards

My first grader was #072. Hope I get that guy again on my next sub

Giovanni

Buccaneer

What were the centering specs you get for the card on the right?

WinPitcher

I have grader 152.


Gio again, the cert number does not mean a specific grader.

4 graders that day could have used those cert numbers.


I pass this along to you guys from a long ago thread in which CAROL replied
and told us this information.

Grader 082?

Come one, Steve, let Gio have his ignorant fantasies. He is an Expert Collector after all.

CDsNuts

Really? You mean there are minute differences between a 9 and a 10, and sometimes 10s can be 9s and 9s can be 10s? Wow, what an original concept that nobody on these boards has ever thought of!!

Leiascards

A quick unofficial pixel count seems to indicate both cards are within the guidelines for a 10.

Buccaneer

<< <i>A quick unofficial pixel count seems to indicate both cards are within the guidelines for a 10. >>



But Steviedoobie believes it is almost a 9 (OC).

Stone193

I wonder if that's the same grader that inspected my new pair of Dockers?

Steviedoobie

Of course I'm happy that the 10 is a 10.....I'm not going to send it back and ask them to reholder it as a PSA 9. The whole point that I was making is that If I was grading those two cards I wouldn't have seen it as a 10. As for the Brett Favre card being downgraded from a 9 to a "trimmed" card is odd. I'm sure they have three graders looking at each card like they show on their video!

CDsNuts

You;re like an alcoholic that complains about the taste of alcohol. The grading companies are what they are. Move on.

These kinds of cards are only graded by one person - doubt they would even get a review.

The reality of how the graders work - how many they truly have etc. - came out in a deposition having to do with a lawsuit a few years ago.

The "authority" has spoken...........we should all obey. LOL.

CDsNuts

What exactly is your compaint, and what can you do about it other than complain? Why keep complaining? You've been here for 5 months doing nothing but complain about grading, yet you continue to submit cards to PSA and buy graded cards. Here's an idea: STOP DEALING WITH GRADED CARDS.

Like I said.....The "Authority" has spoken.....everyone hush!

CDsNuts

I'm no authority- I'm just a schmuck on the boards like you. But your constant negaitivity and lack of any real content here make reasonable thinking people question what your intentions are. Clearly they are to shed light on the inconsistencies of grading, which everybody here already knows. To add yet another apt analogy to your actions, this would be like going to a McDonald's message board and explain how unhealthy their food is. We know. We get it. We understand. You're not being original. You're not an out-of-the-box thinker. I don't know what else to tell you.

Gio, it's no big deal. He made himself perfectly clear.......I think?

SportsItUpCards

CDsNuts

Gio, if you started a thread for every single graded card you owned and said how each was misgraded, I'd probably react the same way. However, if you do decide to do that, at least make a youtube video so each thread would at least be mildly entertaining.

Steviedoobie

Nope, he didn't make himself perfectly clear. Maybe another analogy and it will be settled!

I gotta get myself a cam so I can stop bothering my brother.

Why is Bert angry?? Because his 9's were 10's and the 10's were 9's.
Also because Ernie is cheating on him with Cookie Monster!
