So if there's only one in the Pop Report that has sold at auction, can the OP show a screen capture that this new grade actually happened?
Other possibility is that the one that sold was cracked and the flip was sent back to PSA for pop report removal, but surely someone would have recorded a pack break of 1952 Topps on youtube... right?

Here's a pack opening of a GAI 6.5.

And something I'd never seen before: there's a "company" that grades Christmas Rack Packs! LOL And then a break of a XRPG 8.3 1952 "rack":

If his was recently graded, it may not show up in the pop report yet.

That's why I asked for a screen capture to confirm. Obviously the owner has documentation. Maybe it's on a shipping hold.

UPDATE/CORRECTION: MY FRIEND’S PACK WAS GRADED A PSA 7- NOT AN 8.

Yesterday when we met he told me it was an 8. Then last night he texted me it was actually a 7.

Apparently he also submitted a 62 Topps football pack that graded an 8 and he got the two pack/grades mixed up.

SORRY - Just the messenger here. Still a beast of a pack at a 7.

The pack that did grade an 8 looks like a 5 by the time they crushed it into the holder.

Wow, that's looks like something I would do...The joke was the first card was AL ROSEN, Mr. Mint!

Actually, we had this discussion. Al Rosen (Indians) and Alan Rosen (Mr. Mint) are not the same guy.

Edit: Maybe you knew that. A bunch of recent collectors may not realize.

Anthony pointed out the main reason why I buy and sell ungraded packs: they pushed an 8 into a holder and now it looks like a 5. I could not deal with that if it happened to any of my packs.
