Possible WIWAG Bonds?

Does this holder look frosty to anyone else? Add that in to the fact that both of the bottom corners look like they show wear, and I do not think this looks like a legit 10. And I am absolutely not accusing the seller of anything underhanded. I'm sure there are a lot of WIWAG leftovers floating around that people don't even realize they own or are selling. Could this be one of them, or am I off the mark?

'87 Bonds
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    while it does look frosty, i think it's the camera flash. imo, it does not appear to be 10 worthy from the scan. the description says psa 10 nm/mt?


    Thanks,

    Yeah I caught that too.

    PSA holders often look frosty when a flash is used to snap a close-up....

    Regardless, that 10 is fishy... three of the corners are obviously touched.... even if it's just the flash making the corners look worse, that's still an 8 or a 9.

    Like people are oft to say on this board, and my recently-adopted mantra: Buy the card, not the holder.
    Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...

    The holder looks fine.
    The card looks like crap.
    The player is an a-hole,
    and I can't stand the seller.

    You really, really, really can't tell from a picture like this what the corners look like. You THINK you can, but you can't. I see the exact same thing you do, and I'd swear three of those corners are dinged, but I've seen far too many examples of cards like this which looked like 7's from a picture and solid 10's in person to trust my perceptions anymore. Anyone remember that guy who bought the '63F Football Checklist raw? I think everyone of us thought it would come back a 6 or a 7 (judging from the scan), and it came back a 9.
