Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Submitter must be dating someone at PSA. That PSA 3 Clarke with writing on the front should be a 1.

Posted By: <b>Ron Lambert</b><p>I can see the word only on the front and it appears to be in the correct position on the front to be a bleed through from the back. Anyone else see it that way?

Posted By: <b>Glen Turner</b><p>If I submitted those cards I would probably get them can not holder you submitted them upside down.<br />These grading companies can be a bunch of clowns sometimes. Oh, why not most of the times......

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I had to really look to find the writing, maybe the grader just missed it. Hopefully he isn't as blind as me. I am going to state that I think a 2 on the chipped corner is a fair grade. The card is gorgeous other than that defect. Dan.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>People overanalyze chunks missing from corners sometimes. That is a beautiful card which has about as much paper missing as a GVG corner would through normal wear, but the other three corners are nice. I feel that is a nice 2 if anything.

Posted By: <b>JK</b><p>Unless Im missing something, I dont believe that there is writing on the front of the clarke. I see the word "only" written backwards (along with some other markings) to the left of clarke's head. This appears to be bleed through from the back of the card or a wet transfer from another card (look at the reverse - the word "only" appears in the exact spot in relation to the word on the front).<br /><br />
