1968 Topps printing flaws question?
 

Hi Folks,

We all know the basket weave border of the 68 Topps set.

I recently bought a 68 Manny Sanguillen raw graded nrmt-mt by the seller. The photo on Ebay showed no flaw.

When received there was an even white line about 1/8 inch up from the bottom in the basket weave. I would not have bought the card had I seen this.

I’ve seen this before on 68’s. The card has pretty good eye appeal.
Question is: would PSA downgrade a card with this flaw, even if the card is sharp otherwise?

Thanks for input/opinions on this unique 68 printing issue

Haven’t figured out the photo thing here, sorry

Here is an example of this from another card.

That is a sheet border line. PSA probably wouldn't discount for it unless the card is highly off-center, but since it's on the front of the card, it *could* get a MC qualifier. So if the card was perfect otherwise, it would get a 9(MC) and count as a 7 for the registry, but probably sell between a PSA 6 and 7 price.

Thanks for that info. That’s the answer! Very helpful.
