At this point in time...any 100 year old card in an 8,9 or 10 holder is guilty until proven innocent...imo.

The print mark first caught my eye but also how? Just how in the heck did that card survive and look like that still today?
Conservation maybe? Just a thought.

I always look at two things first with high grade...

1. Does it strike me as “short” compared to other cards in the same set? YES.

2. Is the bottom edge parallel with the top edge? NO. Even in the case of diamond cuts, legit cards have parallel edges. Not the case here, unfortunately.

So, I’d personally avoid it.

I am doing the exact same critiquing nowadays. No short cards or ones that just don't look right. And please, let me have big borders. This is just about a perfect card for me.....the slab is somewhat meaningless.

Meanwhile, I wonder who is the owner that wanted it reholdered and why did they want it reholdered?

It also breaks my heart if that card is altered. Pre-grading days that card would've been the find of a lifetime even before it was "perfected" now it's quite possibly destroyed.

Good point. Could have been in a really old holder or maybe looking to sell
But lots of questions on this one.

Off centered top to bottom to the point you can see the name on the top... Atrocious! Who could love a card like that?

Gee do ya think? Knowing what we all know, there is ZERO chance that card has not been soaked in a chemical bath and then trimmed. Cards from that era simply never looked like that in my lifetime.

Completely agree +1

I enjoy buying rare cards with very low pop as the condition does not matter as much. Plus postcards with the stamp on the back. Never got involved in the registry and never will.
