Nice one Zach!

When grading errors are so huge--what are odds someone cracked holder and inserted new card? Or just grasping at straws?

Its not chipping, its a rough edge. Its a product of how O-Pee-Chee produced hockey cards through the 1970s and early 1980s where most of the cards had a varying degree of roughness to the edges.

This is one of those hot button issues and debates in the hockey card community, on if the rough edges should be taken negatively into account when grading the cards or not.

I couldn't copy a link Leon, but if you click on the seller than items for sale
it will show zero then click on sold items there are 15 or so items he has sold recently.

Possible, but this seller also sold a 33 Ruth PSA 6 which appears to be legit.

Unless he duped the buyer of the card by sending something different, this same card is featured on PSA's website.

My guess (based on the above) is that a misgrade is more likely than the insertion of a different card.
