Irv,

I thought PSA made a mistake upon the initial grade. It was originally labelled a cream back House red tiger. I resubmitted it and requested the yellow tiger designation be added - which they did. Under their new definitions, the designation probably should not have been added, as it has some red on the tongue.

A scan of Mine actually went for "label correction" and they told me the info I'd posted.

Typo - should have said "....it was originally graded a House partial red tiger..."

Inconsistency is still one of the biggest issues. It also seems grading of card collectibles is trending more towards Pokemon and Magic cards and less on vintage, post-war cards

I also think that in the '50s Topps was not really a printer, but more of a bubble gum producer and card designer. I believe they farmed out most of their printing to different companies that used different card stock etc. I in the minority by far with this opinion though.

If you watch this video produced by Topps produced circa 1967, they do not show any printing presses, etc. but show stacked printed product, wrapper rolls and assembly operations. Their manufacturing is relegated to bubble gum
