Altered high grade E93s in Mile High?

[ullmandds]

i'm just talking out loud here...trying to hypothesize what may have occurred.

If it were MY grading company you can be assured the best graders as well as myself would see these uber high grade rarities prior to grading them.

Since I don't own PSA...I cannot begin to guess how they handle their business...but from all of the errors I've seen them make...and other shenanigans...I have no idea what to make of this??

None of the plausible explanations look good for them. One, their best graders missed it. Two, it was signed off on by lesser graders. Three, not sure what three is. We won't hear from them of course, so we will just have to speculate.

Any question in anyone's mind that these cards aren't pulled from the auction?

i can't imagine why they'd be pulled?

No chance they are pulled unless there is more evidence than a few lo-res scans that look similar but not exact. I'm not saying you're right or wrong but it's tough to tell by what's provided (at least on the Cobb).

If these cards were only soaked in water (not a chemical), which alteration is PSA expected to find?

The cards were not simply soaked in water.

And since when is water not a chemical?

i think water would be a compound...no?

as well as a molecule apparently.

We had an extensive discussion of this years ago, perhaps someone with better search skills can find it.

If you go to this link it has an extensive discussion on the topic.

By this definition, no.

I don't think there's any chance of them being pulled from the auction.

Just weighing in. I think that the old adage likely applies: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
