So is it a 6, a 7, or a 9? Only your TPG knows for sure

I'm sure the MHCC winning bidder will be happy about that one. Strong price for an old 6.

Outrageous. How can anyone have faith in third party grading anymore?

Wonder if they separately graded the bottom of the card that got trimmed off...

So what am I missing here? In the MHCC auction it was in an older 9 holder and now it appears to be in a newer holder as a 6. I can't tell the date on Worthpoint as I'm not a member. If I get this right, it went from SGC 7 to PSA 9 to PSA 6. Am I wrong?

The Mile High holder is newer too, pre-lighthouse version, expand the scan and you will see the hologram.

The first PSA holder Cert #241... shows the first generation hologram flip on the front. The second one #248... appears to show it as a PSA 9 without the hologram flip.

Two possible reasons, even if it's the same card:
1) Submitted by a bulk submitter where they may have been using old stock flips (without hologram).
2) The early hologram flip did not always scan properly depending on the scanner setting/angle of the flip. I have seen multiple cases where the scan of a card with the hologram flip did not show the hologram.

These cards were all serial numbered by the manufacturer, kind of like a raffle ticket. So it is highly unlikely they would have duplicated serial numbers.

Save the scan and enlarge it the hologram is there on the 9.

Here they are.
