That Mantle grade is criminal. They're getting so inconsistent now. Such a joke. 10 years ago, that was a 4. Send it to SGC, it'll come back as a 2.5 or a 3. Send it to BVG, it's probably a 5. Slabs like this belong in a class-action suit. I saw a similar Gretzky OPC RC in a 1.5 that looked like an 8 other than a light surface crease across the bottom left. Just makes no sense. Someone needs to direct these graders to PSA's own published grading standards on their website.
