Didn't realize Fleer made Gold Refractors.

I can only imagine a Fleer Chrome MJ

A 1979 OPC Gretzky RC (PSA8, cert# 63074871) auction on Heritage (Feb26-27, 2022).
There is paper loss on the back, bottom left corner (see scan).

I'm assuming they accidentally switched around the corners and centering subgrades.

My first thought as well.

This is not egregious, but based on how they have been grading, I don't know how this T/B slips by.

Stifle · 08-11-2022, 09:48 PM

Therefore a crease receives a 9.5, a ink signed jimmy on the back us a 9, a card with a couple pins through it us a 8.5 and a card that is cut in half is now a 8 ?

That grade makes one wonder if those at these grading companies care about quality control.

imbluestreak23 · 08-18-2022, 11:31 PM

Difficult to tell with glare and angle (top card closer to camera), but doesn't appear to me like this is a black label candidate.

That's a new contender for the most pathetic autograph. It's so bad that the grade should be reduced because some idiot scribbled on it

90skid · 11-28-2022, 03:08 PM

An extremely tough to get 10 grade on this card, and look at the centering on this thing. HOW....

I can't be sure of what is damage (edges) and what is glare from the scanner.

Image on ebay is different and doesn't show the same 'chipping' appearance on the right edge:

(top border/corner still looks white, but who knows if it's glare?)

This 9:

Looks different in those images than here:

Corners don't matter lol

Beautiful front,
The back is dog schitt!
M-U-L-T-I-P-L-E paper loss caused by photo album removal?

ReggieBush22 · 11-28-2022, 07:12 PM

What gets me is seeing 10s that have clear corner/edge wear. Of course i'm referring more to older stuff as modern stuff doesn't have that issue much.

Found this overgraded card in Geoff Wilson's (SCI) YT from 2022 Toronto Sports Expo

Nice shill-job with Sluggers. $45K CDN/ $33K USD for his dented PSA 10. Saying he "believes" the card will double/triple in value when "for sure" Ovie breaks Wayne's record. I guess I missed the line up of guys wanting to snap this bargain up!
Meanwhile a BGS true Gem with 4x9.5 subs just sold for $7K.
What a joke. I wonder if a little hand-stuff was going on off-camera!

imbluestreak23 · 12-14-2022, 12:09 AM

Frustrating seeing serial numbers starting with 7 hitting the market while you have 67s and 68s far away from the end of the tunnel.

And the lower left corner...generous

Just sold through Goldin Auctions on 8/11 for $44,280. Great example of "buy the card not the grade;" it's the lowest sale of a 10 since 11/9/20 (and it's not hard to understand why). Even per PSA's older & more lenient grading standards this should never have graded a 10.

I just saw a PSA 10 1984 Topps Don Mattingly on ebay that looked like this. Can't help to wonder if the people who graded back in the pre-lighthouse era and nabbed more 10's are the one's who will always make some good returns on their investment rather than a lot of us who own present day slabs.

Or will buyers actually inspect the card, not the grade more for those pre-lighthouse slabs as more of those are way overgraded.

You don’t have to wonder at all. The people who graded pre-lighthouse and through to the first few million of the lighthouse label will always make more on the investment. They bought in cheaper. It’ll always be about timing and the super high grade vintage and super high grade 90s insert ship has sailed. People may double or triple up now…. But it’s nothing compared to the 20/40/100x people will get back when they move stuff they graded around the lighthouse era and before

Even if the quality isn’t as great… it’s easy to reholder into a current label and for the most part…. Those who have the money for these things in psa 10…. They are likely willing to overlook something small to have the grade
