SGC DiMaggios

It's crazy that someone was dumb enough to spend $49,200 USD on the SGC 7. Did he not look at the back?

Here are some examples with clean backs:

We recently saw a PSA 5 N162 Anson with what appeared to be significant paper loss on the back. Maybe there is a trend wherein nobody cares any more?

Probably not. It was most likely bought strictly for a registry set with no regards given to how the card looks. A large segment of this hobby values the opinions of others over their own. Crazy world we live in.

On a related note...are those possibly gum stains? I'm not familiar with the issue or distribution.

There are lots of collectors who just want the card and disregard all else. That is their choice but the thing that does not sit right with me are these are 2 more examples of cards which appear to have had preferential grading treatment.

It happens so much and we all accept it. We need a head in the sand emoji.
