The hole-punch is factory issued IF the card is deemed "Redeemed". If the card does not have the hole punch, then the flip says "Unredeemed" Funny thing is that the hole punch in the image above is right where the Basketball shadow is!
The card as it came from the factory in packs was NOT punched. Just because it was punched by someone at Upper Deck when it was mailed in shouldn't change the grading criteria should it?

If I signed my name on a mantle card it would be graded with an MK, and if mantle signed it no MK. The grading criteria changed.

Oy... an UNREDEEMED version (which came in packs) came without a hole punched.. A REDEEMED version, which did not come in packs, but in essence came and/or was issued from the factory, only came with a hole punched (and evidently a stamp on the back). PSA didn't change the grading criteria, they acknowledge that UD in a sense made an alternate version of the card and "issued" it to the public in a specific format. Pretty much no different that grading a die-cut card. You are too hung up on the fact that the card was in one form when issued, but not taking into account that it became a new form when "re-issued)

Im guessing you're joking.
All of these redeemed cards were sent back to collectors with the hole punch and "traded" stamp on back.
Maybe because they all have it from the factory? Just a guess on my part.
