Even with PSA's unusual grading habits, this cannot be a 3. "Great centering?!" "Slightly rounded corners?!" I'm new to this site, and would appreciate some help here. Am I all wet?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hey all you Network 54 cranks:

Be nice to Bob, since he's not only a board newbie but also an old professor of mine from many moons ago. In fact he taught me how many planets there are, and how far away they are from one another. As I recall, Pluto was all the way on the other side of the post office.

Perhaps we could go easy on the hazing rituals?

Thanks!

Tim

Ok Tim. We'll play nice. . . this time.

Sure does seem like a very generous grade. Wasn't one of the selling points of grading is that you could buy sight -unseen? I think I'm spelling this correctly:

W - I - W - A - G

I can even use it in a sentence:
Hundreds of collectors got screwed because of PSA and W.I.W.A.G.!

I don't know if this card is/was a part of that but it's sad that since that whole scandal never got brought to light it HAS to always be in your thoughts when buying PSA cards.

With the way he has scans for the card you cannott even tell if that is the actual card in the PSA 3 holder.

AS Monty Python put it so well

RUN AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting point. I kinda like to hope it hasn't come down to the point where you actually need to see the whole card/holder to know what you're bidding on.

But it IS eBay. . . .
