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...

Just to clarify my point of view. This was never intended as a PSA bashing thread.. I've got no real preference between PSA/SGC/BVG. It was just to point out a waaaay over the top example of an overgrazed card. A solid 2 or 3 in a 7 holder

I'm just happy the seller didn't say the card was a 7++++.

Do you REALLY believe that the card actually graded a 7 ? More reasonable that someone switched the card than over grading.

I don't really KNOW enough to suggest one thing over another.. I only posted to point out a card that had no business in a 7 holder. A Black Swamp Find PSA 8.5 Wagner ended up in a PSA 10 holder by mistake, right? Strange things can happen.
