Not the result I was hoping to find, but this card did sell in the same condition 3 years ago via PWCC.

I do not know for sure but I doubt Mathew is doing anything to the cards. He just buys weird stuff and lists it at crazy prices with some BS descriptions from what I have seen.

Here are 3 cards. Two left the factory the way they are in the picture, one didn't.

Heavily faded cards are ugly, even if they were to be some kind of rare factory anomalies. That's what I don't get.

Some like that 62 Topps Aaron are ugly. Then some like the 58 Aaron when turned blue are amazing.

Kind of along the lines of some T205 cards where the gold borders seem to turn green. No specific reason or known cause, just speculated as an age, fading, ink, or exposure issue.

He's been trying to sell a missing red ink 1963 Post Cereal Mantle for about a couple of years. He has gradually gotten the price lower.

As a postscript to all of this, I finally heard back from PSA. Of course, they pretty much ignored my simple, straightforward questions (about the Bench card) and their reply basically said that they can confirm that the cert. # is legitimate, but they cannot comment on what may have occurred after the slab left their facility.
