PSA has no idea what they are doing right now. Here is a recent 4 versus an older 4 I graded. In the past when I got a 4 from PSA/SGC I felt like an idiot because I missed something big like a nasty surface wrinkle. I received 3 4's in my order like this and there are no surface issues. I guess the bottom two corners were the reason the newbie graders that shouldn't be grading vintage, graded it as such. By the way, SGC is not as consistent as people think. They are +/- 1 grade like all grading companies. However, PSA is worse than +/- 1 grade right now with their volume and inconsistency. Maybe my Motley should have been a 3 to 3.5 at the highest, but this is how they graded vintage in the past.
