Default PWCC listing of 1952 Mantle PSA 4.5 appears to be pressed

Some extra edge wear (especially on the back) that is not visible now that it's slabbed.

I have heard someone say to me they could press out the corners on a card.

How is this done?

So the card was pressed, slabbed by PSA and sold at Heritage, then slabbed again and submitted to PWCC? Why the second time? Crack-out seeking a higher grade maybe? That part I didn't follow. If that's right though, they missed it twice?

Why would someone re-submit this card after the HA offering? After resubmitting, the card ended up with the same grade but with a different serial #.

Maybe it is my eyesight, but the bottom front right corner (from the back) appears different in the HA image (left) than it does in the PWCC image (right).

But some of the distinctive marks in the paper otherwise look remarkably similar. As I said, the second cert. is the part of the Blowout post I don't understand. Maybe someone cracked it out and pressed that corner?

They look like exactly the same card to me. To me the picture on the right shows the same card after a little more work was done.

Ben, there is not a dispute that both of these images are of the same card (albeit in different holders), the question was really how much, if any, work was done on this corner(or others).....apparently not enough work to move the card up to a higher grade in the grader's mind.
