This is why we asked him to become the high bidder.

I'm still curious how that card received the grade it did?

That hasn't been talked about lately in this thread.

I'm a bit curious about that as well. It doesn't seem like 7 material, but I don't get paid the big bucks to make those decisions.

It is as much as 7 as this is a 2. People need to get over the grade. It isn't in the top 100000000 of problem grades I have seen.

Right people...cuz PSA is totally innocent here...leave them alone!

Leaving aside whether it should have been graded at all, the grade is generous but not indefensible. There are lots of cards where the number grade is marginal but technically accurate.

Leon, what's your opinion on the disclosure issue, now that the facts have emerged?

I would disclose things I have done to a card as I have before. I have never sent any card off to be cleaned or conserved. I routinely use water, Q tip and a Mars Plastic eraser. Those are my tools of trade and the only ones I find personally acceptable. That Dimaggio doesn't look out of place in a 7 holder to me. And if if there is nothing to detect, minus the shadow left, I don't know how any sane person can fault a grader for not seeing something that can't be seen. Such idiotic comments ....but then again, we are a microcosm of society. Not much better or worse....

No matter what the reasoning is if you ask someone to bid in your auction for any reason its shilling. No getting around that one. Im not surprised that a conversation finally came to light. With so many bidders/consigners/shillers involved its only a matter of time before one gets burned and seeks revenge.
