1990 Fleer Jose Uribe is closing fast.

If a true PSA 8 was ever found, it would crush the PSA 10 Mantle by a factor of 3.

+1

A Wagner PSA 5 sold for over $3,000,000. I can't imagine what an 8 would bring.

I wouldn't bet too much on this because i am honestly not sure. if the wagner didn't have its sketchy past i'd bet on that, but it does, so I'm not sure in all honesty.

as someone who has little to no faith in grading companies as a whole and PSA specifically, even i find it hard to believe they would give a 10 to cards they saw being hand cut from a sheet minutes before.

The Wagner. There are 3 Mantles, so if one were to come up for sale, you have 2 deep pockets that wouldn't be bidding. There is only 1 PSA 8 Wagner.

There are 0 PSA 8 Wagner's, realistically speaking, and that could be (maybe not) a problem.

Why did one of the big submitters get it into a PSA 10 slab?

[Leon]

What are you talking about? Did you mean to say what "if"? Or are you speaking of a Mantle or what?

It was a joke about the Wagner because of you saying there is no PSA 8.

Things being what they are I believe the PSA 10 Mantle - MUCH more interest in it lately (higher demand) and I speculate more deep pockets willing to do battle for it.

Pretty incredible the level of detail that PSA claims to invest in determining if a card is trimmed or otherwise altered and yet a card that is supposed to be in some respects the face of the hobby sits in a holder with a numeric grade at the top of the population and not even so much as a qualifier - If I am not mistaken, by their own guidelines the card should have an "A" grade.
