Nice bond bread Jackie you have. 2 thumbs up
He does have a point though. E.g. There’s a certain popular t206 currently at auction that is laughable. PSA 0x cert. 3 grade w/ that appears cut short & has paper loss. The hammer price hopefully reflects this.
There are plenty of other examples like the 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson (PSA 8 - 02023137 ) that was obviously trimmed. Was recently reholdered & kept the 8 grade & resold privately. It also sold for over $100k twice since 2020. Current owner must have filed a claim w/ PSA as the card as been regraded as “authentic altered”
In some ways I feel bad for the current Collectors mgt as they are cleaning up & literally paying for the mistakes of the previous regime. So those types of payout costs being passed on to us. Plus we are dealing with their current overly strict inconsistent grading. Even SGC’s grading consistency seems to have changed since early summer.
Side note: I’m ranked high on a few PSA player set registries. Never going to have a chance at the top slot even if I cared because those people own high-grade early cert trimmed cards.
