*** I am posting this card based on who the identity of the initial buyer (Triplesssinc - known card doctors), and the enormous price gain due to a two grade jump by PSA. I will also post this in the catch-all Mantle thread. Thanks again to 312 for all of his hard work putting together the puzzle pieces that make up these threads.

Yellow circles are print, fiber, or chipping identifiers.
Due to the blurring of the first image, I cannot confirm anything other than it being the same card as the PSA 9. There are hundreds of hickies (print spots) in the solid peach colored background on the back and every one of them that you can see match up. There are also darker smudges or print flaws along the borders that match. In the front images I have added green boxes which identify the true left border. Most of the edge of the left border is visually misleading due to the card edge butting up against the plastic inner edge.
