1952 KSA 5 Mantle

What's the story with this card? Hasn't it been listed on Ebay before? It looks nice, but I'm a bit leery. Is it a SGC/PSA Authentic?

From what I understand, KSA is a popular grading company in Canada (where the seller is from).

With the surface wear, I think it's a little over graded, but I also think it would still grade numerically if sent to SGC or PSA.

Thanks for the info David. I appreciate it.

From what I can tell KSA while reputable is inconsistent at best with that surface scuff on front this reconfirms by suspicion of them, they should stick to hockey cards. That surface scuff would result no higher than a "2" by the REAL grading co.'s.....
