That does look a little rough for a 4. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see it listed on ebay with "nice card for the grade" in the description.

It's the very rare "It's snowing in summer" variation.
Expertise worth paying for.

you should see the N162 6's and 7's with nearly the same amount of loss in Heritage's last big auction. Makes me crazier than I already am.

How the hell is that a 4 ? Again PSA 4 at their best.

That is one of the roughest 4's I've seen. Also what makes some of the PSA cases look like that?

Are you sure the psa holder has not been cracked open and card replaced? Bottom of case looks frosted due to being opened.

It is possible that the specks flaked off after it was graded, due to being poorly stored.

It looks like the serial numbers on both PSA examples shown are very low numbers. So, the cards were graded very early in PSA's existence, and they likely were more lenient with grading. If the cards were resubmitted now, they probably come back as 2's.

funny there are many ebay listings where the seller states the cards are undergraded because they were very old grades and PSA was more stringent in the beginning and suggest you can get the card re-graded higher possibly..

stating they were stricter in the beginning is a flat out lie. Both services have many early graded cards that do not fall within their current standards. Many "Merkle" graded SGC cards are no where near the quality they are assigned and would not cross to current SGC standards. PSA is very inconsistent on T206 grading, even more so on the early grades. And even more so on T cards graded 1-4.

This flip was issued recently or within the last 6 years. Im not sure the flip and card go together as I believe the case has been cracked and card switched. Why would someone do that for such a low dollar card? Not sure but people steal grapes everyday.

That Griffith card sold Sept 3, 2008. Same card, same PSA identifier.
If broken out and replaced, had to have been long ago..... |

I think PSA just missed this one. As everyone here knows, they have been known to do so.
Here's one of mine that they graded in 2009: scan0005.jpg |
