There is no complaining with an Allen & Ginter Mike Kelly card. A great looking card. Congratulations.

If you're really unhappy with it, you can always just give it to me Smile

Nice card man.

Any VG grade implies there is a crease. Unless the edges are very bad (shows paper damage like a scrape), I think it should have been at least an EX. I hate these 'tweener grades.

I don't think VG implies there is a crease. I think it implies there *may* be a crease. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see any crease.

I just stumbled on to the following eBay auction - http://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-Allen-Ginter-N28-Mike-Kelly-SGC-4-VG-EX-/321084887884?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item4ac226934c&nma=true&si=xHSs37asmNRgdOWYlR%252FHK3wFUnY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Can someone tell me how my card (the one I posted scans of in this thread) and this card are graded the exact same?
I went ahead and made a picture showing both cards side by side:

I just love this set. I really want to put some of these old Allen Ginter sets together. Beautiful card!!!

Sweet card

That is a beautiful card no matter your grade. I can see what you are saying based upon comparison your card seems to have better corners and sides. I am no professional grader, but to be fair (and it may be the camera or cameras if you consider both photos) there looks to be a colour difference between the cards. Perhaps the other card has better original colour and yours is faded?

Great card no matter the grade.Think it could have been higher, maybe you caught the grader on a bad day.If you decide to resubmit it keep us posted.
