Has PWCC stopped using the HE designation?

If they haven't, this card sure seems to deserve one, based on the glowing description

55 Clemente

    It might be a glowing description, but not an accurate one. Its not near perfect centering, as they claim.

    Careful, can't say anything on CU that questions PWCC in any way. I asked him what he's doing to combat shilling and dudes got out their torches and pitchforks.

    centering may not be "near perfect" but still a very nice card!

    I thought the HE designation means God. Oops, wrong forum. He still qualifies High End cards, though. And this months morsels are monsters.

    It is a great looking card, deserving of the grade, good centering but not near perfect.

    BTW- You get a complimentary torch and pitchfork when you join the official
    PWCC bandwagon, but I kept mine in the closet when everyone else was threatening
    you.

    They haven't stopped the "high end" card designation. Just search for "pwcc-he" on Ebay and you will see a long list.



    I agree, the description of the PSA 8 1955 Clemente would seem like "pwcc-he". Maybe they ran out of stickers.

    It's a question that he probably struggles with on a daily basis.... to HE or not to HE?

    I really like PWCC, but the "HE" thing is a crock of $#@% and nothing more than a near perfect marketing scheme.



    I'll agree with the others that the description does seem to exaggerate the condition of the card, but not to a degree that I think that it is lying, so I wouldn't shame them for it. Would you expect them, or anyone else, not to try to "up sell" the card just a little? It is a very nice card, and everyone's idea of what qualifies as high eye appeal is different, and "near perfect" (in terms of centering) can also be up for interpretation. Some think near perfect should be 51/49 and others 55/45 (you get the point), there is no exact definition of the term of phrase.



    I do wish that they'd stick to selling cards and stop with their attempt to grade them and give the "High End" sticker. In my opinion it is doing the hobby no good.

    The Clemente RC 7.5 they have would certainly seem to warrant the designation as well...

    Both of those are sweet cards and should do pretty well. The 7.5 Clemente is a really nice example. Funny thing was at the National pwcc had a preview of their auction stuff and they did not have many nice items showing, so it is nice to see they have a decent offering this month.
