Most inaccurately graded PSA 8 of all time?
Well, okay...maybe there's ONE that's a bit better known, but this one has to at least take the silver medal. I rarely ever post or comment on grading topics, but this one blew my mind. Unless I'm missing something here, this card has:
- A surface wrinkle/crease on the center of the top front edge and bottom right corner of the back - Multiple spots of surface damage or flecks of paper loss including a 1/4 inch chunk on the top border of the back - Cut/damage on the lower left edge - And of course the prominent writing right across the center of the card Yikes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-M116-S...gAAOSwuMZZCeIM Last edited by marcdelpercio; 05-11-2019 at 11:26 AM.

Left side of case looks frosted, and there are some cracks on the back of the case. Could be opened and swapped. They don't all seem to have "FielD" written on them either.

Hard not to be suspicious of a graded card on a white background, though I'm sure I've done it myself occasionally without thinking, it makes it much harder to see case damage.

I contacted the seller asking how that card got a PSA 8 and this is his response
Hi, That's a great question and I don't know the answer. I did not submit the card to PSA myself. The holder appears to me to be in sound condition. I bought it several years ago from a highly reputable seller. I have also seen that this exact same card (with the same PSA i.d. and with the same letters on the uniform) also sold as far back as 2010 (on ebay, on 1/15/10, selling for $449.00), so I assume it was graded by PSA sometime prior to then and has since traded hands at least a couple times. Best wishes,

From what seller is saying tells me that the original card was cracked out and replaced at least 8 years ago...

The holder's bottom edge definitely looks suspect. But, the only other reasonable explanation is the grader was sucking back on some of grandpa's ol' cough medicine before grading this one. It might have a shot at a PSA 4.5(mk) in reality land.

The writing is the big issue for me. How can anyone grading that card miss that?

Ultimately it's stupid to sell this card without a full disclaimer because it just makes the seller look bad, IMO.
