If you can't detect the marks with the card in hand (and I can't detect the mark on from my computer), why does it bother you so much what PSA said? You're obviously collecting slabs and flips, not cards.

Edited to add: Furthermore, how do you know that PSA didn't get it wrong? What if there really is NO mark on the card? Why are you trusting PSA over your OWN EYES?

Isn't a card only worth what the last person was willing to pay for it?

That Mantle is low grade. I've bought some t's from Battersbox and I get exactly what I expect to get.

Did they charge you a restock fee?

I would if you sent back half of what you purchased from me.

Out of curiousity what were you expecting the 1958 Topps #418 to grade from PSA or SGC?

The reason I ask is you paid Battersbox $79.50 for a card they grade VG and it not centered well.

A PSA 4 recently sold for $64.99, had no bids at $79.99, sold for $97, SGC 5 sold for $83.

PSA 3's sold for or had no bids from $45 to $77.

It shows sold but there was a discount applied to the card as it was part of a larger order. It was not $79.50 though. Expected no qualifiers, not a numerical grade per se. Not to worry, yesterday I found a PSA 3 for $55 as replacement.

And how long will it take for you to return that one??
