Grading a card with very slight paper loss

Question for you guys that send in a lot of vintage stuff for grading. Can a card with even the slightest paper loss achieve a grade over a 1.5 ? So, this Dimmagio for example. Any chance of getting a grade above a 1 ?

I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    I believe a card with paper loss can be graded as high as a "2". However, I don't think your card will grade higher than a "1". Even without the paper loss I don't think that card grades higher than a "2". Best of luck.

    STAY HEALTHY!

  • That indention on the left side border equates no higher than a 1. and that top left corner doesn't help much too.

    The paper loss along with the side indentation and corner dents will only get this card a PSA 1, but I agree with Doug as I have seen a few T206 with that much paper loss (mostly on the back) that graded a PSA 2.
