Peter, I don’t deny the possibility of a hose job but was just looking for more info. I know nothing about the set and chuckled at the thought that it is considered “vintage’, which makes me paleozoic. Was your entire submission all cards from this set? You say there must be some minor, insignificant trait that caused the grader to downgrade. Assuming that’s true, do you have even a guess as to what that could be, and do you think the same “flaw” was observed in all of your submitted cards?
Way back in 1989 I bought boxes of Score baseball cards, which were then considered all the rage. Dozens upon dozens of them in many boxes bought at different times and places had one or more corners somewhat pressed down slightly, as if they had been packed too tight. These were noticeable only if you held them up and looked at an angle, and were resolved at least to my satisfaction with thumb and forefinger or just having them laid flat for awhile with something on top. To this day I do not know if this is discernible to a TPG since I have no intention of submitting any of them for grading. Is there any known characteristic for this Panini set that collectors disregard because it is apparent in many or even most all of them?
