Default Stains

I think the stains are pretty minor that they don't take away from the quality/look of the card. If I were paying huge $ on a PSA 7 or higher though on a card like this I would probably avoid paying that much as when you would resell it you might have problems getting your $ back. But on a PSA 5 card this sort of blemish is pretty common.

That's a really sharp looking card. The stain on the back wouldn't bother me at all. However, if you are the type of person who, every time you admire the front you are thinking about the slight back stain, well, uh, you know, could you still just enjoy the card?

Go ahead and get it. You know you want it. It's a very nice card.

I have absolutely no problems with product stains on the reverse of cards, at least for mid-grade cards--they're just a badge of authenticity. Here these look to be particularly minor, although they may not be product stains. If they truly bother you "as a collector" then pass, but I really doubt that these stains will adversely affect this card's resale value to any significant degree.

Doesn't look like gum stain.

Looks like a very insignificant wax stain witha couple of very small spots of foxing. Buy It! It's a great card with great eye appeal and a top drawer "5". Probably go for 250 or more? What would you pay? Dave.

thanks a lot for the comments all. It's a really nice card, and Frank Crossetti's a toughie. The first example I've seen on ebay that I really liked. I'll definitely be watching this one...
