A cautionary tale. Why would you break out an 88? Or, what are the chances that most pw 88s/8/9 may have the same thing happen upon reexamination? Ah, the grading game.

It is only one example, but a huge one, of an apparent SGC mistake. Let those who delight in PSA's mistakes take notice.

Most definitely SGC could make a mistake just as any other TPG can. That being said how do we know it wasn't tampered with when it was broken out?

I feel a large percentage (don't know the number exactly) of NM-MT and above pre-war cards are tainted. Unless there is great provenance, or some reason to own one, I usually shy away from high grade. Not always, but usually.

Tampering with a $15,000 card that already had graded seems quite a gamble. More likely it was no good to begin with.

My point exactly.

Jeff, that was my first thought as well but if the collector has all PSA then that's got to be what he was going after, his ranking in PSA.

Sounds crazy to many but I guess makes perfect sense to others. It looked nice in the original SGC to me.
