53 Mantle really a PSA 1?

Cant believe this card got a PSA 1. What do you think its worth? The back is just as clean as the front. Seller says the card has surface wrinkles.

likely has a pinhole - when genuine, an automatic PSA 1 at best.

might be a filled in pinhole that the seller doesn't know about.

Would it still grade if it had a filled in pin hole or is that an altered card?

PSA 1 for a pinhole - PSA should state that about a pinhole on the flip, but they don't.

How much do you think this card is worth? Even though it has great eye appeal it only graded a 1.

This would probably be worth more OUT of the slab.

I would agree that there may be a very tiny pin hole on the card.

I'm sure someone will try and make buck or two off the card by cracking it and selling raw by calling it "Great Mantle with Great Eye Appeal".

If I was you I'd checkit at around 12.00 to see if a pinhole was in fact filled in.

If you're buying for your PC and don't care as much about the number on the slab, it has nice eye appeal, it's authentic and not trimmed. I'm not sure there's a lot of money to lose on that card. If you decide you don't like it, somebody else will.

If you're looking for that card and can afford it, I would buy it. Good looking card.

Invest in a blacklight - they're cheap and to me a must when buying cards of decent value.
