Default How could PSA Grade this Mantle???????

As many of you know, I am NOT a graded collector nor a fan of TPG's. Here is one reason why. How could PSA grade this card????? NOT AUTHENTIC, but a VG 3!!!!

It is cut way down and missing the frame!!

See the graded one first, then what it really looks like.

Not sure "how," but I know "why." PSA and the others will grade anything for the right price.

If borders don't matter, then get ready for what's going to happen next…

Yep, the rookie Ryan:

They also slabbed a magazine ad of him:

You bring up the Ryan, but the newspaper Sports Stamps issues are also graded from the 1930s. So there is precedent for grading newspaper cuts. The main question is whether or not the cut is intended to be clipped and collected. If the Ryan was not intended to be collected, I would agree with you that it's in error.

I was a bit surprised when I was this a couple of years ago. I wonder if this is the only way it will fit in their holders? I actually like it better, and the colors on the PSA one are great. Of course, I would never trim mine down.
