StevePlease forgive me it was a 1952 Topps Crandall. I believe the card had a rough cut and nice but was no way sharp enough for an 8. While PSA can overgrade cards (as all the grading services can), we rarely see 1952 Topps 8s if ever that do not have four sharp corners and we all know how brutal they are with rough cuts. Again, people can interpret this however they wish, but that card was altered by Drent to get in an 8 holder and his recent purchase was suspicious.
Also, did he not have a big Old Judge or other 19th century that was originally in a Mastro auction that SGC graded that had writing or something else removed from the back? He never made it clear whether the card was from a consignor or if he owned it?
