From the Ebay link you can clearly see some glaring issues! Hint, both bottom corners and the obvious tilt to the card!

Tell me all the things you see wrong with this "freshly graded" card. So much for tougher standards!

This card SCREAMS PSA 7 big time. Unbelievable!

Peace, Mike

C'mon Mike, this was just one of those 'crack slippers'
It either slipped through or someone is smoking it.
And what IS that on the right border of the card on the back (the bottom of the holder, but right side orange border of the card itself)?

David, good point on re-holder, I had not thought of that but it makes sense if it was graded a long time ago.

Taylor, I was thinking the same thing! It almost appears as a hairline crease but no way of telling unless it was "in hand". It is something though and very noticeable!

Thanks!

Mike

PS You need to use Ebay's photo to look close at the 2 bottom corners! Oh my!!

The more I collect the more I become just as happy with raw cards.

Which would you rather have? $100 Top - $3k Bottom

$100 top for me

Actually, since the card number is around 25,000,000, it was recently graded. My major concern with the Clemente getting a 9 is actually the back top border has a large blue mark or print defect. It should have gotten a 9(PD), IMO.

Looks like a pen mark (ink) to me?

Personally, my thought is that card was slipped in a 9 holder.

Always a possibility I guess?

It occurs to me that I have seen the right side of this card before - more than once. I typically see sides (and corners) like this when I have sent in a PSA card for crossover and I get back the dreaded "TRM" Evidence of Trim designation. Both top and bottom corners on the right side appear to almost curve outward - thus the almost perfect "points" to those corners. As I collect SGC - I have become increasingly wary of sending PSA examples to SGC for XOver when they look like this.

Based on the seller and lack of frosting, I don't think the card was switched. Although if I were PSA, I would want to buy the card back and regrade it properly. Since the shade of blue is close to the name box right below it, that's why I was figuring PD rather than MK but it could be either.
