1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 7(OC) on PWCC tonight

[CMIZ5290]

Ending tonight, what a joke....Look at the smears on the back of this card. Brent just keeps on keeping on!

Not sure I’m following, what is the relevance of the smears on the back?

A card should not get a 7 with smears. Not a big deal as most avoid OC cards like the plague or pay the next to nothing they are worth.

i think you mean 'what they should be worth' not 'what they are worth' i always thought something is worth what the market/people willing to pay for it. If they avoid a card and pay a much less price (then what everyone thinks its worth), then i think they are still paying what the card is worth...but maybe my logic is off...

7 does seem a little generous. I would have rather seen the ink stains mentioned in the description, but they're not exactly hidden.

I think the card was graded early on by PSA (as evidenced by the 011** slab number), and this card met the standard for a PSA 7 OC at that time. Things have tightened up in the meantime, but this looks like it was graded by the PSA standard from 20+ years ago.

As much as we want to chastise Brent (and rightly so) in most cases, I don't see what he is doing wrong with this card?
