This...got a 9 from PSA?

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?
