t206 psa 8 wagner provenance

[atx840]

-"The Card" quotes Bill Hughes, a member of the grading service team that issued the card's high grade - Professional Sports Authenticator gave it a PSA 8 on a scale of 1-10 - as admitting he knew the card had been cut from a sheet when he graded it. "The card is so outstanding, it would have been sacrilegious to call that card trimmed and completely devalue it," Hughes explained.-

I think they've been using that grading philosophy ever since

Such a statement from Hughes would be understandable, except.....

It was the FIRST card ever graded by PSA!

The Card is trimmed. Not speculation in my mind i believe this to be true with 100% of my being. if i were extremely wealthy i would still pay more for it than any of the other t206 wagners i have ever seen.

The only provenance you need to know with respect to the PSA Wagner is that this Wagner's SHEET-MATE....the Charlie Conlon PIEDMONT Plank....
was graded by PSA as AUTHENTIC.

So, that should tell you everything you want to know ?

That Gretsky/McNall Wagner is TRIMMED! And should have been graded as such.....since When does a cards rarity or value affect the grading? It is cardboard with ink on it! Oh yeah. This is psa and famous clientel. The whole TPG thing is coming apart like a cheap suit in the rain. Aloha, Dave

Considering that it is the first card graded by PSA, then I would say since the beginning.

the first or the last card graded by psa, her policy is to not grade numerical the altered , trimmed card....

the rule must be the same for all card

no?

I am not a PSA supporter by any means but even a blind dog finds a bone every now and then. They will be their own demise. They do good on newer post war cards and I think they should stick with that and let SGC take care of the pre war. Granted SGC has mucked a few things they are far more accurate and non biase on cards wether its a $5 card or $1000000 card.

Wagner PSA 8 was their first card. We all know it's trimmed/altered. They built a company that started with fraud. That's what I would consider it irregardless of the card and value. I just wish that they would stop looking at the money and start caring about the hobby. This is JMO.
