You're safest taking Adam's advice on W529s, in particular when dealing with grading companies, given his experience with all the subtypes. I did some additional searching in case you _do_ want to get it reholdered.

W529-6 cards should be hand-drawn, like the Tendler facing left. It's certain your card _isn't_ a -6, since it uses a more realistic photo style.

I searched for more W529-3s and matched its red background to the attached group of W529-3 cards from a past auction. Groups sold together often came from the same original strip and others in that group _do_ show numbers and reversed ©.

As Adam said, cards from that series can fail to print details, due to low quality of production. Tendler would be #6 on its strip of ten, between #7 Beckett and #5 Fulton. If you look close at those three cards, you can see how Tendler's edge cuts fits between them.

Looks like this "W529-6" should be W529-3 #6. Tough to say what it might sell for in the proper PSA Authentic holder. Perhaps $20? Apologies if my earlier notes hyped you for more! ^_^

1. Do you think I should sell as is noting Spike's information (edited) or attempt to have PSA re-case it?
1a. If I do the above, Spike, do I have your permission to quote your language?
2. I want this card to go to the right person and I don't think that person is on eBay? Does anyone know someone who might want to purchase it and take through the paces? The card is a friend of mine's, who sent me a bunch of his cards to sell off. If this is rare card, I think he would be happy getting a decent price and letting it go to a collector who can keep it and put it in it's proper place, assuming it is that rare card Adam mentioned.
3. As a note, I have looked very closely and it doesn't not appear there was ever a number or a copyright mark, so I don't think it is a 2 or 3.
4. Frank, no worries about offending me. Born in Queens, raised in Miami!
Thanks again for all of your comments.
