The more that I look at graded cards, it appears Beckett Grading is a bit more strict than PSA and other companies. Even with the OC qualifier that PSA gave that card, it looks like centering would never have been better than 70/30 untilted and their guidelines say Mint cards have to be 60/40 or better.
Anybody have a comparison guide for grading standards among the different companies? Would be nice to see some chart or table - sort of a visual person.
It is probably not worth getting this Tom Seaver card graded. I was just a bit surprised to hear altz11 hear that he would grade it 3-4. Only one corner appears very worn to me; the others do appear worn but only after you look extremely closely or take a photo with magnification and high resolution. I still considered the corners to be more rectangular than rounded. Having said that, I do realize that one edge is not very nice (lower left) due to some careless shipping on the original sellers behalf.
If anybody comes by any Beckett graded cards that have a tilt, would love to see the images and grades. Thanks!
