Never get cheated! ;-)


How super weird. I just went to their website to double check whether that was some fake photoshop that was making the rounds..............but there it was, plastered right on their website.

Who's in charge of their graphic design.........and why the hell did they make the conscious decision to show 2 modern cards with completely unrelated vintage card flips?

I would guess they took the pictures with the vintage cards and someone then decided they want to push/advertise modern so they photoshopped in the modern cards not paying attention to the actual holders.

Still kind of hilarious.

The middle finger is equally absurd. No one naturally holds two cards like that.

Yes it is but all the fun is over now. PSA removed that graphic and has a new pic in its place.

To be fair, how many times have you held up two graded cards for a cameraman to take your picture? For me it's zero, so I have no idea what my natural finger placement would be.

Pointer finger in front of both cards with thumb pinching them seems like it would be standard play.


Sorry for derailing your thread, Bobby... ;-)

I wish I could have figured out a way to use the Old Judge photo but you should recognize this photo of Mr. Radbourn. Since this is a basically a pre-war board, let's use the photo of a pre-war player giving us all the finger.
