So BGS marked a "glossy" as WH issue and a "WH Issue" as a glossy? Wow, my faith in all the TPGs just continues to soar.

Where does the coating extend past the card??

If you look at the PWCC card (below), you'll notice the coating extends slightly beyond the edges of the card, whereas on the OP's card above, there is no coating beyond the card's edges. I believe this is what he's referring to.

1990 Topps Bush experts
I have been fascinated with the 1990 Topps George Bush card for many years and have attempted to read up on every bit of information that the internet has to provide on this card including old posts on Net54. With that said, I agree with others that the current PWCC auction is a White House Edition.
I was curious as to any expert opinions on whether people believe my 1990 Topps Bush (Beckett Glossy) is a White House Edition. I attached a picture of the card along with two zoomed in photos showing the extra lamination that can be seen over the corners of the card. I am confident that I am holding a White House Edition. As such, I would prefer to have my card graded with the White House Edition designation. When I sent the card to PSA for grading, PSA did not want to cross the card unless I could prove to them over the phone how I could be in possession of a White House edition. Instead of crossing the card, they sent me a PSA label back (see photo) and left the card in the Beckett slab. I would like to know whether other members think that this 1990 Topps Bush is a White House Edition and if anyone has any ideas on how to get this card the proper label. I believe PSA is the only company that puts the distinction on the card that this time. Steve |

PSA sent you the label, but didn't slab the card? Does the cert number check out on their website? I would escalate the issue with them, because they shouldn't be forwarding out labels to people who could then use them for fraudulent purposes.

That is correct. PSA sent me the label, but didn't slab the card. Before, grading the card, they contacted me to ask me questions as to how I could be in possession of a White House version of the card. At the time they spoke with me, they did not tell me what they were going to do with the card. After the telephone call, the label was sent back to me with the card still in the Beckett holder. I tried contacting PSA via email and telephone for clarification but have been unable to get a response. Oddly, the cert on the label does not match with a Bush card so I do not think fraudulent use of the label is a possibility.
With that said, the purpose of my post was to see which version of the card other collectors think this is. Steve |

Was the gloss applied like a lamination on the WH version?
To me that's a bit suspect, as the cutter should have cut the gloss too just like on most modern cards with a heavy gloss layer. |
