sure looks like a wax stain under the Yankee banner. That other stain looks like a water stain though.

Once you bust it out, you're taking a gamble.

If it's just a wax stain, then that should be easy enough to resolve. Then it's 8 months of waiting for PSA to grade it and have it sent back.

It looks like it should grade at least a 7 again, however one miscue (drop on the corner or anything) and you could lose a couple hundred bucks (or more) in value or PSA could come back and say - looks trimmed or altered to me and you're in a really crappy position if you're looking at flipping it.

Not sure what was meant by water stain. My eyes didn't catch it.

If you care more about the card than you do the slab, then break it out and hit it with nylon pantyhose, as Mr. Cobb suggested.

If it's all about the piece of plastic, then don't.

This one stays in my PC. I'm just irritated by the qualifier.

Centering is nice, the corners are nice. If it's going to stay in the PC, then I'd just leave it as is. If you ever decide to sell it and there's only a wax stain, then someone else will probably think the same thing - crack it, clean it, re-submit it. I'd let the next person do it if you decide to sell it.

Good advice. I'm happy with the card. It's been in the family since '86. Picked up for $25, ungraded. No problems, so why mess with it.

It's the OCD part of me that thinks 'I've read about others removing wax stains. Would that work?'
