I would consider sending to SGC. PSA’s incentives on this one are not good.

Agreed, unfortunately.

I would return it for full refund if that's doable. But that's my opinion, and it's your card/decision, and I won't tell you what to do. You're obviously making the choice thoughtfully.

But, whether or not it is altered, you'll have to convince skeptics at sale that it is not altered, which will be tough considering its provenance. If it comes from Moser/PWCC, the default with many people is that it's been altered. As far as alterations/grade (as opposed to autograph authenticity), Moser provenance is likely on part with Coach's Corner now.

This is what I would do. I would think that a large percentage of potential buyers would not be interested if you were to tell them the provenance of your card. If you plan on taking it to your grave, then that's another story.
