In the end, I'm trying to chalk this up to a clerical mistake, not a mistake in that the grade actually think that this is worthy of an 8.

That's why I found the fact that two Mantles were graded back to back an important piece of this puzzle.

Foot in mouth.... I obviously took it upon myself to type in the incorrect numbers like I was assuming the grader did... Two Mantles were not submitted.

I'm wrong in that aspect, though the 23994673 which is actually a TANNER is an 8, so maybe the grader accidentally marked the Mantle incorrectly. O well. I dont know why I am defending PSA...

Steve, where do you see two Mantles? The cert #s do not show two Mantles.

Edit: NM, I just saw your post right before mine.

Here is the reply I got when asking the seller if they were going to pull the auction as it is grossly and incorrectly graded.

"we sell 23,000 auctions a month,,,,if its graded, then we sell it as is"

Guess the seller cares more for the $$$$ than his integrity in the hobby...Sad.

That says a lot about his character.

So, if he receives a fake, counterfeit or forgery, he's going to sell it as long as it's graded? It's amazing how people can still defend this guy.
