I know that for a re-holdering/re-labeling PSA doesn't necessarily do a re-grading, but you would think, with the card in question, they might look at it again.

Jim -- PSA has reholdered the Wagner a number of times. I know that there is a picture of Brian S. with the card reholdered with his name on the pedigree. I believe he ultimately said that it didn't look right that way and had it changed back to the Gretzky label.

Guys, please see my attached picture on page 3 regarding another Piedmont Plank that REA had in their 1997 auction. It has brilliant color, but is missing the right border. It is different than the Halper examples that have been discussed. It has the same type of "odd" cut on the bottom left border that just sold in REA's auction 2 days ago.
