barrysloateBruce, I don't even remember that card, but looking at the picture, it looks like a factory miscut.
The subjectivity of grading is acceptable if the price differential between grades is rather modest. But if a card is midway between an 8 and a 9- say a sharp 8 but not quite Mint- is it a $1000 card or a $5000 card? Is its value totally dependent upon which way the grader is leaning at that particular moment? Maybe it's an 8 on a Monday but a 9 on a Tuesday. The price discrepancy within a system that is so subjective never has and never will make sense to me.
