Man, the pop-unders are getting crazy here.

One thing that PSA seems to do very well is find wrinkles. If you see a really super looking PSA-4 or PSA-5, look for a wrinkle on the front or back.

They don't always find them, but I think that they are as good as anyone at finding them. The '57 Topps card I sent to PRO had been a PSA-5, with a wrinkle on the back. The wrinkle is ridiculously light, and it's close to a corner. I don't think a 7 should have a wrinkle on the back, although I have seen PSA-7's with worse wrinkles, but I think that this shouldn't have dropped it down to PSA-5. I think that PSA-6 was a better grade for this card.

I don't understand the PSA-2 that came back a 7 the second time.

I would have liked to have had a card with a heavier wrinkle to send to PRO, but I didn't have one.
