1956 Mantle PSA 5....What is this sticker?? (Purple Label Company)

I thought Bob was only talking about cards that had been in screwdowns for "several decades." Back in the 80s not sure if people were protecting cards with a sleeve, or taking care not to overtighten the screws, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of those will be worse for wear when removed.

Peter, I am also referring to cards in screwdowns for "several decades". I frequently buy private collections and come across cards that have been in screwdowns since the 80s on a regular basis and am yet to have one rejected by PSA. Is it possible to overtighten it and "flatten" the card? I'm sure it is possible, but to question the credibility of Greg or claim 90% will get rejected is ludicrous.

I would think the worst case scenario is probably some corner damage which might affect the grade but would not affect whether they grade.

I agree

Sorry if this has already been brought up...

It seems to me that this new company/product will become a likely target for scammers. If someone can sneak a few fake/altered/compromised slabs through the system, they would be able to (fraudulently) profit from doing so.

Please note, I am NOT saying the person running the business would be doing this. I am merely stating that there will almost certainly be a non-zero amount of crooks looking to exploit this somehow.
