Card is otherwise in EX condition, but has a pin hole that can hardly be seen.... is it automatically a PSA 1 PR? Or can it get a PSA 2?

    I think you might be able to get an SGC 1.5 if the card is very strong other than the pinholes. I was just thinking about this thing this morning, in that wondering if this would ever be another qualifier. (e.g., something like PSA 7 PH) where the PH qualifier means that there are pinholes in the card.

    I have often wondered that myself. What if a card was otherwise MINT or GEM MINT - I do not think that card should be a PSA 1. One thing is for sure, not all technically low grade cards are equal. Some can have great eye appeal.

    SGC has given a VG card with a tack hole a SGC 1.5

    I'm going to get on my high horse here, but.....

    We're saying that I can have a card in my bike spokes for 10 years and get a PSA 1, or I can crack a PSA 10, take the world's thinnest needle, and poke an imperceptible hole in the card and get the same grade. Baffling....

    I'd MUCH rather have a card with a pinhole than one with a crease (no matter how slight) or corner wear (of any kind). I do think a PH qualifier makes way more sense than some kind of automatic PSA 1 (or 1.5).

    Climb down now....

    That is the best analogy I have heard on this subject. Great post!
