Guess the grades!

Below, are five pairs of images of cards cropped in their PSA holders. Within each pair, the cards have been assigned different grades. In fact, all of the first images are one grade, and all of the second images are a different grade. Guess the grades!

Pair 1

Pair 2

Pair 3

Pair 4

Pair 5

They all look like scans of the same cards. Are they?

paleocards · September 14, 2007 6:27AM

Hmmmm, digicat may be on to something...

They're all the same cards. They have to be. All of the "specks" are in the same places on the cards. Look at 'em.

That's what I thought on the Carlton cards. Looking at them again it they appear to be the same cards, but one is enhanced and touched up with photoshop. I was going on his word of the 1st image is one grade and 2nd image is a different grade.

Maybe he "cracked and re-submitted?"

6's and 8's.

BobaFett72 · September 14, 2007 8:00AM

they are clearly the same cards; markers are identical on both scans.
they were all 7's and now they are all 8's thats my guess.

p.s.

how many times did you resbumit ?

Mosaic is right, these were my first "crack & resubs." I re-upped my PSA membership at the Cleveland National and used 5 of the free vouchers to resubmit what I thought were my highest-end 6's. Lo and behold, all five of them came back 7's! Here they are in all of their slabbed glory.

Nice job! Some of those look like 8s.

ArnyVee · September 14, 2007 11:10AM

I was going to say the same thing.....those are strong 7s....I could see an 8 mixed in that group and wouldn't be surprised by it. All 6s before? No way, that's just plain silly.

BobaFett72 · September 14, 2007 11:13AM

that is absolutely ridiculous that those were EVER in plastic slabbed with 6's. What a sham.

Guess the grades!
