HOW IN THE SWEET NAME OF… lol in all seriousness… Really though?? Where is the confidence in the process when errors that are this obvious are found every day? The sad thing is that people will just flip the mis-graded card and continue as if nothing happened. Then eventually you just have a culture of “strong 9, weak 9, blah, blah, blah”, and trust is lost. I guess there are a lot of ways to look at it, and mistakes definitely happen, but sometimes I wonder how much quality and care is really put in by some. As a result we all suffer. I wonder if the PoP report should be eliminated. I think it should, then people would have to value the cards based on more subjective factors, and any sort of corruption or errors within the system would be isolated and contained. I don’t know, thoughts??

OP, relax. :blush:

I’ll be honest, I’m seeing quite a few soft 9s being graded recently but maybe I’m just super picky. By soft I mean probably 8.5 worthy. In this case, it’s an obvious misgrade. It sucks, but it can and will still happen.

The amount of soft 9s reflect the amount of Pokemon cards being submitted for grading. There will be human errors in grading and the amount of these mistakes goes up as the number of cards being graded increase. Pokemon card grading has seen a huge increase in 2017. I bet we will probably see a lot more of these misgrades moving forward when people submit their childhood collection to get graded.
