REA is live

I was checking out the 1949 Robinson PSA 9 listing:

While still a great card, I am shocked that this got a 9 due to the amount of print scratches on this face (zoom in). At first I thought it was on the case, but I am pretty sure it is on the card.

It is a beauty and I agree it does not look like a 9 with those issues. IF it is not on the card they should get new photos posted

Front left border, is that a rubber band mark/paper loss?

That's a bad flaw to get a PSA 8! PSA used to be friendly towards minor stains on old cards. This is a good example of that.

Agree...is that just a stain or also a tiny bit of paper-loss.

Seems TPGs don’t always put a lot of emphasis on surface conditions.

When it comes to both this and the PSA 9 Robinson, I've noticed that too. Always thought that stains, print issues, and (not the case here) diamond cuts can be practically ignored by the TPGs.

Never understood that, cause those flaws can be some of the biggest eye-appeal problems.
