This one is so horrendous I find it hard to believe that PSA graded that card in that slab. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Maybe someone can alert Rick about the card. Maybe the case was compromised. Is he a member here?

Rick has around 40 posts on this board and they are recent. I am sure he does read it sometimes.

This HAS to be a mistake. Probably "switched out" with another card.

Default It was either

It was either a data entry, switched grade with card before or after after it, or it was a compromised holder. Do not pretend it was anything else, no one thinks that card is honestly a 7. Granted either of the first 2 should have been caught on review with such an egregious error.

Am I crazy, or do you all see some water damage near the top right corner of the card, too? And is that a pinhole along the bottom edge of his right forearm? No way that's a 7.

As to the likelihood this has been popped, I think it's the most likely of explanations. I can't believe a PSA grader would goof by that much. Something is rotten in Denmark, indeed.

I know that frosting alone is not indicative of a cracked slab, but I remember reading that frosting along with disruption to the 4 windows along the outside of the slab make a pretty good case that it's been compromised. Well, the two windows on the left side look highly suspect to me.

Got an ax to grind?

Nothing like rehashing an old psa bashing thread...

I'm sort of surprised it didn't get an "Spinal Tap" 11. That should be the next screw up.
