I have a card that I bought on ebay, it is a PSA 10 card. I am looking at this thinking that the edge wear is a little much to be a PSA 10 but I am very new to this hobby and don’t know much.
I tried to take a photo of the edgewear for you guys to peruse.
The seller gave me a good deal, maybe there’s a reason why
Agree… PSA makes mistakes. If that’s the only wear, PSA 9
That said, I’ve seen worse. So if you love the card and got a good deal, and it wasn’t too pricey in terms of absolute dollars, then I wouldn’t sweat it too much
Remember that there are humans behind grading your cards. People can make errors and just push things through without checking it multiple times. I wouldn’t call that a 10. If that is the only flaw on the card I would call it a 9 for sure
Do you know how that generally goes? I expect they will just value the PSA 10 card at 50 bucks (its 500) and then send me 20 back. Or are they pretty honest about that?
I hope you realize BGS also uses human graders and the same mistakes happen there. It can easily be seen with a much smaller pokemon sample size as well. Imagine how many mistakes bgs might make if they had the same volume of pokemon as PSA, I would bet just as many cause again, humans are involved.
2xxx cert. Is what it is, and not worth the hassle of sending back to psa imo. A lot of mistakes exist with those early grades. Grading standards have tightened up significantly with 4xxx and beyond.
