CGA-63 or PMG-55

[JIM F.]

Same note. 2 different grades.

 

What do YOU think?

Since PMG did not give it the EPQ they might have though it had been pressed? Very nice note though.

PMG grades conservatively and CGA grades liberally that all I can say.

Jim, I would like to see the reverse scan of the CGA ticket. If the scan was a bit better, there appears to be a centerfold, but can't confirm without a better scan.

Jim, I would like to see the reverse scan of both. If the scan was a bit better, and smaller, there appears to be a centerfold, but can't confirm without a better scan.

I'VE ONLY HAD ONE NOTE THAT

I CONVERTED FROM CGA TO PMG,

IT WAS GRADED FINE 12 FROM BOTH OF THEM ,

WHEN YOU GET TO THE HIGHER GRADES

THERE SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENCE.

I WONDER WHAT PCGS WOULD HAVE GRADED IT.

 

I'LL SOON HAVE A CGA-45 CONVERTED TO PMG.

AND SOME PCGS CONVERTED TO PMG,

IF THERE IS ANY DIFFERNCE IN GRADING, I'LL POST.

 

MY VIEW IS THAT PMG HAS A BETTER HOLDER

AND BETTER GRADE TO TRUST FROM AN INDEPENDENT GRADER.

I think it's beautiful! It's a 63 - Just my opinion. )

I'm not sure if this would be considered "off topic" or not, but I just saw a 1981A $1 Dallas Star note for sale on eBay, (a VERY valuable note) and it is in a PMG holder, graded 67 Super Gem WITHOUT the designation of EPQ. I was wondering how a note can get this high of a grade and NOT get EPQ. If anyone can give me an explanation, or reason behind this I would appreciate it.

A few years ago, PMG changed their policy such that any PMG-65 or higher note, MUST be EPQ. PMG did not have the EPQ designation on their graded notes in their early years.

PMG will re-holder any and PMG-65 or higher notes that do not have EPQ designation, with a direct-crossover and the EPQ designation.

 

So don't worry, and PMG-65 or higher notes are by default EPQ notes.

Thanks Jim. I was suspicious that that was the case. Thanks again for clearing that up for me.

I wonder if CGA would grade it 63 if it were resubmitted again?

 

I would be sick to see a 63 go to a 55 like that.
