Mighty generous grade on that Ryan card. How is that a 7? Guessing a high roller submitted that one initially.

I'm thinking the grading standards wre much more relaxed back then, While
PSA pretty much got it right 20 years ago, there are a lot of overgraded cards
I see on ebay from that range of cert numbers.

Nope, I did. Back in the day a near mint card was visibly not pack fresh.
