Altered high grade E93s in Mile High?

What a tangled web of sh&t this "hobby" is sometimes.

Quotes Jimi: "Now if 6 turned out to be 9
I don't mind, I don't mind."

Not a bad payday for taking out some stains.

Tough to tell on the Cobb. It looks like the Wagner has been submitted a few times. These all have the black fisheye by the ear, but the red backgrounds appear to have subtle differences, which could just be due to scanner settings.






(edited to add the PSA 6 and PSA 9 scans for comparison)

There's a higher percentage of convicted criminals in the baseball card auction house business than there is in the Mafia (not that I'm being critical of Mile High because all they did is accept the consignments). None of this should be a surprise.

Jeff, besides soaking, are there other suspected alterations on the cards?

Well,
I think a big share of the blame falls on the TPG.
It's fairly obvious to the naked eye those cards all have the washed out look from being soaked in chemicals.

It's certainly hard to argue with the evidence.

I've seen this question asked before on similar threads, but do you guys believe that PSA simply missed this or that they're in on it some how?

personally I think they are not capable of detecting such alterations.

It's hard to understand. They have some very experienced people, and you would hope that before giving NINES to very expensive cards, that are almost never seen in that grade, those people would be consulted and that these weren't just the decision of a novice or low level grader. On the other hand, the conspiracy version of the explanation isn't really credible either.
