How did this PSA 10 get by them with 3 touched corners and a fisheye?

I agree with you David that something is amiss here.

And I just saw the Ryan you posted- both of the bottom corners show touches of wear. Not a whole lot, but enough to knock the card down to the 8-8.5 range. What's going on here?

Agreed.

Good work again David.

Folks...I distinctly remember (and it caused quite a stir on the old Full Count board) when a 1887 N172 Old Judge King Kelly PSA 6 sold in a Maestro auction that later found itself in a PSA 9 holder. This has been going on for some time now unfortunately.

There also seems to be a notch/touch on the right border at shoulder height.

Do you mean the same notch (and print dot) it had when it was a PSA 9?

That would be the one.
