    Calling that an "8" is a crime.

    Maybe it's card #8 and it should be graded a "5"! LOL

    Case looks cracked. Cracked on both Munson's. Not on the others.

    Right hand side has been cracked and I am not a tampered case expert.


    Run!

    Card looks tilted in the PSA holder. With that amount of money on the line, I'd be asking for a better scan. A zoomed horizontal scan would be nice as well.

    The bottom of the case is conviently not shown in the picture. Hmmm, no touchy that card.

    my friend purchased a PSA 8, 1971 Topps Munson at the last Chicago Sun Times show, it had a weird reverse flip and the case looked odd. He took it over to PSA as part of the deal to make sure it was real and they said fake case and bad card.

    Dealer took back the card, but there are bad 71 Munsons running around out there.

    I'd do the same, that 8 is stupid
  • MCMLVToppsMCMLVTopps Posts: 4,911 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Looks to me like somebody cracked the case in the lower right corner...could have removed the original 8, leaving the flip intact and sliding in a lesser card...and, keeping the original 8 to send in for grading.

    I am also dubious of descriptions that tell how wonderful the card is "pack fresh", "just out of the pack", "great luster", etc, etc. Notice also a Private sale...don't get that.

    Wouldn't bid on the card, something smells here.

    << <i>Very slight fraying keeps this from being a 9. Great investment >>


    Yeah, that card is oh so close to a 9. In my opinion, PSA is tough on 71 Munsons, no way they grade that an 8 or even a 7. Something seems amiss with that case.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    So I send an message to the seller about the crack and lack of a picture with the bottom border of the holder and this is his reply:



    Hi,

    Looks like a slight surface crack on the lower right of the casing. My apologies, I did not see on the original listing as this has been sitting in a secure box for 2 years. Will probably pull the listing and send back out to PSA. Thanks for pointing this out.

    I haven't checked, but I hope he cancels the auction.
