Question about T206s in Memory Lane

[T206Collector]

Just another opportunity to mention that the real value of TPG is in disclosing the existence of unseen defects. Buy the card, not the holder, etc.

I am sorry but IMO the Chance looks trimmed. Upper left corner and lower right corner.

Just to add with all the A graded cards I wouldn't doubt if many more of these cards are altered in some way to achieve the grades they got but just got pushed through due to negligence on PSA's part. Of course that is not a huge surprise either

When the auction first opened I stared at that Wagner for a long time too. I do not get how that is a 2.

The bidding on it so far has been strong.....last I saw was 480k. That price has to be based on the number, right?

A couple of thoughts:

1. Five to ten cards out of 500 isnt a large percentage of "mistakes".
2. For the spot and off center it isnt hard to imagine they were graded with the "no qualifier" designation.
3. The guy who put the set together may have sought out cards that were low end for the grade for economic reasons.
4. The Wagner is a Wagner - dont think the numerical grade matters that much.

Of course, I could be blowing smoke................
