The cutting up of the ball doesn't bother me as much as the PSA grade does. Three crummy looking autographs on a grimy piece of leather should not grade a nine just because Topps decided to put a piece of cardboard around it.

The cutting clearly bothers me...BUT looking past that, I definitely agree with you, the grade is technically correct for the card, but completely strange considering the auto's themselves...

Would you expect PSA to give a low grade to a new Topps product?

Neither the cutting up of this ugly ball or the PSA grade bothers me. I could also get on a soapbox about the modern insert hobby and about cutting up jerseys and balls or whatever....it just doesn't seem worth it.

grading the strength of autographs has been a scam from the beginning,

psa does not guarantee the grade from further fading, so how does anyone know if a 9 grade autograph is still a 9, or has deteriorated into an 8, but still has the 9 designation? you pay for a 9 and get an 8. the grading scale is all made up anyway. just another revenue stream like rookiegraphs or whatever else nonsense they think up a couple times a year to get more money.
