I love the T202s.

I have a PSA graded T201 that was slabbed with the card folded in half. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it.

That is funny. What grade is it?

I blocked the bar code and cert number so that PSA won't remove it from their directory of cards. Just a little paranoid I guess. I thought it was just funny as hell to see this so I picked it off of ebay many years ago.

Off topic - I prefer SGC because of the packaging and I saw so much crap with PSA grading. Time for another mention of the Hall collection of PSA graded T206 cards (still makes me cringe) ..... Not to say that SGC doesn't make errors but cards just look really nice with the black border. Got to mention this - the one thing I liked about the GAI packaging was that they put that little tab at the top of the slab and you could pick out the card from a box without having to look at the front of each card in the box to find the card. I sure with PSA and SGC would do that.

Wow Fred, that's amazing that PSA would slab a T201 folded like that. I don't like when cards are so loose in a PSA slab either. I like that they fit nice and tight in SGC holders. And I also liked the GAI label on the top of the slab. That was just cool.

Perhaps the card is glued into the folded position. We may never see the top half of Chief Bender.

I figure if it was glued together the grade would have been a "1" rather than a "4". Either that or the grader didn't know what it was....
