PSA Grading at its best

[wuwei]

I know there are several posts on the topic but I had to share this listing.

Buy the card not the grade but does anyone actually think this card is NM-MT? I'm pretty sure if I popped the card from the case and sent it in, it would come back a 6 or 7oc.

While I'm stirring the pot, notice who has listed the card. I bet he gets $3000 or more.

Anyone else have any examples of crazy grades?

wrong section... but i'll comment!
There even seems to be a slight wrinkle on the left side between the Mickey and the brim of the hat. This had to have been placed in the wrong holder completely!

This card is cert #23994673
...Next in line is #23994674 and it's a 58 Mantle PSA 8

PSA had to have accidentally printed up 2 PSA 8's instead of an 8 and a 4, which is what this card should be!

I too saw that wrinkle. I didn't know if I was just seeing a hair, but it really does look like a wrinkle. Also the corners are soft. Either PSA messed up big or someone switched the card.

Steve, awesome detective work, I think you unearthed the problem! Now the question is: If you notified Probstein, would they have enough integrity to pull the card and send it back to PSA to get it corrected?

What do those bidders see that we don't. The answer? The holder, not the card.

Probstein is probably not the owner of the card. Its probably a consignment.

I messaged him asking that very thing. I'll post if he replies.

The fact that the previous card (23994673) is an 8 is irrelevant. The next card after the Mantle is a PSA 7 (23994675).

Here is a list of the 2 cards before and after the Mantle.

23994672 - BUD BYERLY - PSA 7
23994673 - CHUCK TANNER - PSA 8
23994674 - MICKEY MANTLE - PSA 8
23994675 - LINDY McDANIEL - PSA 7
23994676 - BOB KEEGAN - PSA 8

I don't understand your point of a mix up. Which card was Mantle mixed up with???
