I see a Ton of 1950's Cards that are "Tattered" on at least one side.
It seems like this is a 50's thing as I rarely see it in Cards from other Decades.
But my question is why do they grade so high?
I mean it looks terrible and I would never buy one.
But I see people paying big money for PSA 9 Tattered Cards.
To me I don't think they should grade higher than a 2-3.
I mean it is Clearly NOT a Mint Card.
Here is an example I found on ebay of a 1953 Topps Bob Feller.
Seller Claims it is Near Mint (What !!!!!!)
