The first PSA holder Cert #241... shows the first generation hologram flip on the front. The second one #248... appears to show it as a PSA 9 without the hologram flip.
Two possible reasons, even if it's the same card: 1) Submitted by a bulk submitter where they may have been using old stock flips (without hologram). 2) The early hologram flip did not always scan properly depending on the scanner setting/angle of the flip. I have seen multiple cases where the scan of a card with the hologram flip did not show the hologram. These cards were all serial numbered by the manufacturer, kind of like a raffle ticket. So it is highly unlikely they would have duplicated serial numbers.

Lol, it's still early here for a Saturday but I'm not seeing it. Is this one of those illusion things they post on Facebook where some people see things and others don't?

Great work guys. Where is the card when it was a PSA 8? Maybe we should crack all the graded cards and just start again.

One. That's it. And PSA has graded a total of 121 Mickey Mantle New York Journal Americans since opening their doors in 1991. 121 examples in about 28 years. That's a little over 4 examples, on average, they grade per year. Not one that comes across their desk(s) all that often, agreed? They keep population data, which is made public. Surely, they must keep more information in house to help guard against fraud, right? These cards have a unique, factory printed numerical identifier at the bottom. If I'm a grader for PSA, and this card comes to me for grading, this card that PSA gets every three months, on average, I'm documenting that factory printed numerical identifier in our database, so the next time that another example of the card comes in, that database can quickly be referenced. "This Mantle with serial number 290586 came through two years ago and was graded a 6. I'm about to give it a 9. Maybe I need to take another look, because either Stevie Wonder graded it the first time, or some card doctor has altered this card to receive a higher grade." Isn't that how it's supposed to work? Or, am I crazy? If they're keeping any kind of data on the cards they grade beyond the final 1-10 designation, how does this happen?
