Default New Discovery - The super rare N-300 Mayo Mini

Posted By: warshawlaw

I don't know the story on this card, but I suspect it was a mess-up that PSA bought back and deleted, rather than a switched card. The holder is for a small card but the registered card listed on the PSA site is a standard sized card, so it could not have fit into the case shown in the post. More importantly, PSA has been known to slab N cards with advertising removed. An infamous incident ca. 2002 was an N172 without the ad that was slabbed by PSA. Lew Lipset offered it in one of his auctions, noting for the public that the card was trimmed and that PSA had slabbed a blatantly trimmed card. As far as opening goes, PSA cases have always been the flimsiest and easiest to open. A few twists of a screwdriver is all it takes.
