Every slabbed card has a story, don't it?

Paper loss and tape on the back. I wasn't even considering the tape "alteration" when I sent it in; I suppose if I had been more forward thinking I could have removed it and still gotten a 1.

Perhaps ironically, the TPGs do not give Altered slabs for tape. There must be something else they didn't like.

You know, I didn't think so. I sent it in thinking it had a fair chance to come back a 1 - but didn't really care as it's a PC card, and more than anything else I just wanted it in the SGC slab for looks. (I bought this raw a few years back for like $120 on ebay. Thought the front and image presented nicely for the price).

It's not color or trimming, because each of those are now noted separately on the flip with SGC. So I have no clue.

That is a nice Hank Aaron. Not to be a snob but I like mine perfectly centered and in Gem Mint condition like my Hank Aaron or I just throw them in the garbage. Maybe if I used a little bit of Kurts magic spray on the slight imperfection on the bottom left corner my Aaron would be perfect.

Nice! Kurt might have a bit of a challenge working on that, LOL.
