Probably because they do a lot of business with PSA.

The one on ebay almost looks like a proof card with that printer's line below the name.

The cross hatchet marks is strange on a completed run card. Its usually seen on proofs (practice run cards) cut from sheets (this card might have been handcut from a sheet and not taken from a package of caramel). I have seen some T206 cards with smaller black crosses on the borders. In PSA's defense the mark is not damage. It is more of a small printing freak that shouldnt be there. Should they have marked the card down because of it? I dont know? Its ugly, sort of like the red mustach E90-1 Jackson, but it is not damage.

I've had a few of these...I tracked this card with manontherock. It's a Proof alright! & I wish'd I had the Cash for it then....Great Price, IMO

I think PSA would grade it a 3 actually.

i'd say borderline 3-4 with psa...i dont like there holders, too easy to crack open and slip a fake in...i'd rather have a low grade anything in sgc than a fake in a psa holder

The E90-1 Young PSA 5 was just sold in Man on The Rock's auction. It sold for 4K plus the juice.

Oddly enough the same ebay seller has 3 other items that he won out of the same auction which he has decided to sell with opening bids well under what he paid. Guess he will make it up in volume????

Example 1 which sold for 8K plus the juice.

Example 2 which sold for 3K plus the juice.

Example 3 which sold for $1,200 plus the juice.

who wouldn't

SGC is a good company, who also makes mistakes in overgrading. That card is one of them.

but it was only off by a grade ... so that's okay.

neal, i'm still in the room...lol
i wasnt implying that psa grades fake cards, i was implying that it is very easy to replace the real deal with a good fake and get over on a non suspecting buyer, i wish psa would come up with a better holder that basically gets destroyed when you tamper with it.
