T206 museum has an old article about a Canadian T206 Wagner that was graded by NASA.

I haven't seen Hot Mint before.

I'm surprised the flip didn't indicate the item is from the "Bringing the Noize find."

It's new. PSA 11, Hot Mint, Label has tiny pic of Paris Hilton next to the grade.

Actually, PSA has had a grade of "Brilliant 11" for some time. It is used solely to grade 3X5s signed by Willard Brown.

New terms were coined for liability reasons. If they next switch to the Cyrillic numeral system, they'll be home free.

SGC should inaugurate a new level of grading SGC120 - SUPREMO EXEMPLATORY HIGHEST.

That would have a better market value than a PSA11 - HOT MINT.

CRITERIA FOR MEETING GRADE:
Must be perfect, no defects of any kind, under 2000X Electrom Microscope Examination - centering must be better than 50/50 at least 60/60 on all four borders.

Possible names for Grade 11:

"Made it, Ma! On top of the world!"
"Kicks supreme ass"
"Better than sex"
"You and what army's going to beat this?"
"Heeere she is, Miss America"

I think you use HOT MINT when you find Ruth in a pitching pose, when he hadn't really pitched in the last 5 years.

Unless 1924 is the wrong date, and that couldn't happen with a graded piece.

...especially since the Yanks didn't start putting numbers on their unis until 1929. An "American Magazine card?" Whassat?
