So PSA is just carrying on the fine tradition of substandard quality control established by the caramel card makers.

Works for me, and apparently the majority of their customers.

LOL

I learned only several years ago that T202s can be curved all to heck and still be factory cut. I also have never believed detecting trimming is an exact science. Sure, the easy ones are easy but I just think it is a bit more random (hard to tell) than most have thought.

The Surveying part caught my attention, but if I made blunders and errors like the TPG's do, My NJ NC Licenses would be in trouble and rightly so Real estate is a lot more expensive and even more with the construction side . The difference is the card grading industry is not regulated and have no State or government law to answer too so their rules and regs are made up as they go with no oversight

I was told this card was in one of the Blowout threads but can't find it -- anyone have an opinion?

Two areas that look a bit iffy.

The top right corner is really sharp compared to the others. Not in itself a problem, but an area I'd want to inspect more closely.

The one that is a red flag to me is that the darker green is printed with a not small shift to the right. You can see the lighter green underneath along his body, and to the right of his hands. Looking at others, it goes from his body all the way to the border normally, so on this one it should extend into the border. But it doesn't.
Since the set has a decent number of cards that aren't consistent, it's possible one position on the sheet had a slightly different dark green area, but a quick look online doesn't show any.

So I'd want a really long hard look at that lower right border.

Believed to previously be in a PSA 3.5 holder. So probably a pressed out wrinkle.
