This...got a 9 from PSA?

[vthobby]

David, good point on re-holder, I had not thought of that but it makes sense if it was graded a long time ago.

Taylor, I was thinking the same thing! It almost appears as a hairline crease but no way of telling unless it was "in hand". It is something though and very noticeable!

Thanks!

Mike

PS You need to use Ebay's photo to look close at the 2 bottom corners! Oh my!!

The more I collect the more I become just as happy with raw cards.

Which would you rather have? $100 Top - $3k Bottom

$100 top for me

Actually, since the card number is around 25,000,000, it was recently graded. My major concern with the Clemente getting a 9 is actually the back top border has a large blue mark or print defect. It should have gotten a 9(PD), IMO.

Looks like a pen mark (ink) to me?

Personally, my thought is that card was slipped in a 9 holder.

Always a possibility I guess?

It occurs to me that I have seen the right side of this card before - more than once. I typically see sides (and corners) like this when I have sent in a PSA card for crossover and I get back the dreaded "TRM" Evidence of Trim designation. Both top and bottom corners on the right side appear to almost curve outward - thus the almost perfect "points" to those corners. As I collect SGC - I have become increasingly wary of sending PSA examples to SGC for XOver when they look like this.

Based on the seller and lack of frosting, I don't think the card was switched. Although if I were PSA, I would want to buy the card back and regrade it properly. Since the shade of blue is close to the name box right below it, that's why I was figuring PD rather than MK but it could be either.

There is also a faint mark/spot, either PD or MK, beside "1966" on the back outside border.

You're likely right about it being a PD based on the color of printing ink and also likely right about it not being a switched card based on the lack of frosting, but it sure makes one wonder what PSA were thinking when they graded that card?
