Rick, this is a great public service announcement for those looking at older PSA slabs. One of my favorite things to do is finding old PSA slabs and finding a technical flaw they missed, such as pinhole or wrinkle and making them Grade Guarantee review the card. In the end they frequently reduce the overall grade and are forced to pay me the market value difference between the grades. Let me tell you, there is nothing sweeter than depositing a PSA check into your account. I’d suggest you do the same here!

Great video Rick. You made great points. Congrats on getting the Cobb. It does look great even with the pinhole. Great giveaway. Congrats to David M. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

You ain't ripping on PSA Rick, you're telling the truth! I actually really love the story behind the "Pinhole" Cobb. It's a damn cool card and reminder that TPGers only are an opinion on that day it was graded. Awesome video!

Crazy how they missed the pinhole. Right smack on Cobbs upper lip. Might be the only pinhole PSA 3 But, I doubt it.

Congrats David!! Wow! Looks like a great card still. Never really tried SGC. Keep hearing good things about them.

this is good advice, i bought a ripped card and didnt even know it was ripped because it was in a sleeve and i didnt take it out. card was from 1937 and i just figured it was a crease always examine your purchases.

If I was buying graded cards (which I don't) and someone said you could choose between a PSA 3 and a PSA 4 of the same card and pay the same price for either of them, I'd still want to see what the cards looked like because the 3 could end up looking nicer than the 4, based on how inconsistent PSA's grading is. Glad that you had a good time at The National. I guess it would be difficult having a bad time being in the midst of so many cards.

Awesome Cobb, pinhole or not but should not be a 3 of course

PSA is inconsistant with everything. Ive seen some horrible psa 9s and 10s. I deal mostly in vintage pokemon but I do a sports too and the inconsistanty with everything they grade is tremendous. Thr amount of money difference between a 9 and 10 is so high its criminal to miss these flaws.

I buy a lot of pre war so good to know

PSA has really gone down the toilet! Will never use them anymore!

PSA is inconsistent. Grading gives you an idea only. I have a 1957 Bobby Layne card graded PSA 7 that is defintely trimmed. I also have a 1963 Raymond Berry that the PSA holder say is 1960.

To be fair, it's not just PSA that misses things. That's great advice for ALL grading companies and sounds like you've been around long enough, you've more than likely seen SGC and BVG stuff that seemed a big generous on the grade for the card in the holder. Good content, but you do sound a little like an axe to grind with PSA

@vintageoddballcards6103

I do prefer SGC over PSA. SGC tends to be more consistent with there grading. For PSA to miss a pinhole on a scarce Ty Cobb card is unacceptable. It’s not like they missed a bad corner on one of Luka’s 20,000 RC cards.

I like psa just fine, but cards with the newer cert numbers seem to be just as inconsistent, especially when it comes to 9s and 10s. Great card by the way!

I've been collecting investment graded (SGC/PSA/BGS) Vintage HOF'ers fairly well centered for the year with nice eye appeal for over 12 years now and I agree, SGC is superior to PSA from 1887 thru 1941. From 47 thru present I prefer PSA but, I've recently noticed SGC is invading PSA territory from 47 thru 59. They're tougher than PSA and the cards just look better in the SGC slabs.
