Centering slightly better on the 10.

<< Centering slightly better on the 10. >>

No doubt...but it doesn't compensate for the horrible toning, which if I were in charge, would make it a 6.

I just thought it was a fuzzy scan??

The crappy scan doesn't help matters. To make an accurate comparison, both cards need to be scanned by the same scanner or at least a good one just to be fair.

Fine, but I've seen enough of these to know that PSA doesn't downgrade for toning (which is very common on these, particularly series 4-6) no matter how severe it is, and I just don't understand that for a grading process predicated on "eye appeal."

Totally understand this. I feel the same about my Scott Stevens RC, a PSA 9. I can't do any better than what I have. In my opinion it's a 10 masquerading as a 9.
