How the hell is that card a 7? Something is rotten in Denmark.

It's an old flip and looser standards?

And for future reference to the OP, this should have gone in the post war section....thanks

For those that weren't around, WIWAG was known for cracking out holders with highly graded star players, inserting another lesser (but perhaps sometimes passable) example, then re-submitting the original to the TPG. Voila! Two near mint TPG's Mantles for the price of just a bit more than one!

Happy collecting, but always keep a sharp eye out!

..that mold spot might have grown from just a speck over the last twenty years of encapsulation and warm humid storage....seriously doubt it was visible when graded or it would never have received a "7"...without the mold , it appears to be NM-ish...
