Really thought I had a 6/7, wasn't even close...lol

Not sure what I want to do with it now, throw it in a corner until I can forget how much I paid to have this graded...lol
Win some, loose some, this was definitely a loss, but guarantee I will look much, much closer next time.

Here it is...

 
what is wrong with it to give such a low grade? The edges look typical, maybe a little extra rough by his name but not that bad.
 
Is the bottom edge miscut?
Other than that I think it looks great from what I can see - nice card regardless.
 
It looks like it is creased on the right side about head high.

I need to confirm that crease, i think it is just the scan, there was no crease when I sent it to PSA... I just got it today, quick scan and then back to work...
How bad does a crease hurt a grade? 2/3 points?

I have no idea how it affects the grade. I have never gotten any graded. It still looks like a great card to me though.
 
Yeah, beauty card for sure. Other than for resale I would not care about the grade for the PC. I only have 3 Roy RC's (1 Topps and 2 OPC) and all three would likely be lucky to add up to a 10 grade. lol
 
That crease will hurt it no doubt. Did you take a scan of it before you sent it in?Nice card all the same
 
I don't think that's a crease. I think it's the shadow of a mark on the case.

That being said, other than for potential authentication purposes, grading is a scam since the primary thing that matters is how much you spend with the grading companies, followed by whether or not the grader is having a bad day. I'd break it out and resubmit if you're insistent on having it graded, because you're right, it looks stronger than a 4 to me.

looks like a hair to me not a crease. The bottom edge is pretty rough and the left corner looks a little rounded. You could always break it out and resend it. Maybe you could send the card to another member on here that grades in bulk. You may get a 5 or 6 that way.

Psa really should give a little insight to why a card gets the grade its given.
