T-206's with paper loss on back - PSA or SGC?

uyu906

I have several dozen T-206 cards including HOF's that have varying degrees of paper loss, only on the reverse side. Which grading service between PSA or SGC would you suggest that I send them to to be graded at? Which of those two companies are more likely to give higher grades for cards with only back problems like I have detailed? With whichever service I choose, should I also check off the box for allowing them to encapsulate with an A for authentic if they won't grade them due to the paper loss on the backs?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Likely PSA 1.

I would allow the A on the submission form.

FR 1.5: Fair.

A PSA Fair 1.5 card's corners will show extreme wear, possibly affecting framing of the picture. The surface of the card will show advanced stages of wear, including scuffing, scratching, pitting, chipping and staining. The picture will possibly be quite out-of-register and the borders may have become brown and dirty. The card may have one or more heavy creases. In order to achieve a Fair grade, a card must be fully intact. Even though the card may be heavily worn, it cannot achieve this grade if it is missing solid pieces of the card as a result of a major tear, etc. This would include damage such as the removal of the back layer of the card or an entire corner. The centering must be approximately 90/10 or better on the front and back.

PR 1: Poor.

A PSA Poor 1 will exhibit many of the same qualities of a PSA Fair 1.5 but the defects may have advanced to such a serious stage that the eye-appeal of the card has nearly vanished in its entirety. A Poor card may be missing one or two small pieces, exhibit major creasing that nearly breaks through all the layers of cardboard or it may contain extreme discoloration or dirtiness throughout that may make it difficult to identify the issue or content of the card on either the front or back. A card of this nature may also show noticeable warping or another type of destructive defect.

either will get you a 1 or 10 possibly 1.5 or 20

I have several T-206 and T-205 with paper loss on the back that have been graded by PSA.

Some have minimal loss with fronts that present like PSA 6 or 7 -- they are all PSA 1.

I hope this helps.

You're more likely to catch a break with PSA. I've seen very few SGC cards graded higher than 30 with paper loss on the reverse. With PSA, 1's or 2's are most likely, but I've seen plenty of 4's with paper loss and some grades as high as 6 with cards with very light paper loss.
