Not to bash PSA but........

[slidekellyslide]

I'm pretty sure the only legitimate company that will encapsulate skinned OJ's is Becket. I don't think PSA will even give an A to a skinned OJ.

Toby - nice to see you posting in the forum - do you have a scan of what you are referring to?

[bigfish]

Ken, doing well. Hope we can catch up at the national. I do not have scans. The backs should be smooth looking. Skinned backs have a darker rough surface look to them. I was burned on a harry wright and just wanted folks to be aware. Ask for back scans if you are paying decent money for a psa graded old judge. Sgc does not make this mistake

Toby, have you contacted PSA about it? I'm guessing they'd be mighty embarrassed about having a skinned OJ with a numerical graded holder out there.

There's a PSA graded N172 Billy Sunday out there that has a numerical grade and the bottom is trimmed off.

It's always good to know that we can rely on the experts to use their knowledge and provide the hobby with a great service.

I can already hear it, "that's only one OJ they messed up on". In my book, if you're going to be providing a service then the quality control better be in place to ensure that obviously trimmed cards are not provided numerical grades. I guess that boils down to "obvious to who?"
