Is this really a PSA 10? Edgewear

Hello,

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

I’d expect a PSA 9 with that type of wear

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

Well I mean, it’s a good deal if it was PSA 10, I paid more than a 9 is worth :slightly_frowning_face:

Seen PSA 10’s with similar wear but I would expect it to be a 9 more often than not. I can’t imagine any BGS 10 to have anything like that though.

PSA standard on this one was pretty bad, no chance that’s a 10 imo (but it was in PSA’s xd)

@karmaawhoree that is not a PSA 10. A total error, would be regraded as a 9 at best.

I would not be happy. He gave you a good deal because he knew it was overgraded.

Maybe you could send it in as a misreads and get the balance in value back.

I see this every day from PSA, people posting identical threads. And now it happened to me

This is making me wanna collect BGS, tbh

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.
