Not surprised. It would sell to a “sheeple” for much more than a truly NRMT raw example, so just leave it in its idiotic slab. The emperor’s new clothes always prevail in this “hobby”.

+1. Buy the number, not the card!

The question is why would this card in this shape even be graded? The answer is, The PSA’s Registry, it has many wrapped around it’s finger. PSA Dominates, the Registry is a Money Making Marketing Machine !

This card was obviously graded many years ago, based on the Certification number and the look of the slab.

Another example of just how far PSA has moved the goal posts over the years.

Probably would grade about a 3 these days?

I just received this card from PSA and sent it back to them for regrading. There is no way I could sell this as a 6.

Saw this on your latest YouTube video Robert. That is unexplainable, the label is right and everything. So being an accident is ruled out. Crazy.

As long as it’s not cracked out of its slab, a card - even a completely overgraded one - will remain at the number the TPG deemed it to be and will forever enjoy the fruits and values associated with that particular grade.

I think this is lost in this thread, very commendable of you to send an overgraded card back to get corrected.

People do it all the time. I had a Bowman Color Duke Snider that had a huge water stain on it graded a 6.

And then there's the other end of the spectrum. I just got this back from SGC. I bought it from an 80 year old, the uncle of a good friend, who bought this as a 10 year old.

Apparently a light crease (hard to see in the scan) and a light back stamp (of the person's name) is enough to get just a 1 these days.

There really should be more done to differentiate cards at the lower end of the grading scale. This is so much nicer than most 1's, many of which look like they were left out in the rain overnight. Does this really deserve a 1??

Heaven forbid anybody foregoes all this slabbing/authentication and can use their own set of eyes and personal experience to draw their own conclusions. Hey, why bother retaining any knowledge whatsoever when a slip of paper in a piece of plastic can do all the work for them?

Sheesh.
