Anyone ever subbed 80's Tea discs to PSA?

Ive subbed a few over the years and am never surprised anymore at the results I see. Seems that the consistency for the disks is not what you get for cards. Some graders care about perforation, some centering, some stains. Its just all over the map. But this one takes the cake. Look at the paperloss on the right hand side where the card was separated from the next card to the right. There is clearly paperloss underneath the "flap" on the right......and the card gets a 10? Is this grader oversight, or has PSA just decided they don't care about paperloss etc. next to a perforation? If this card is a 10, then why bother having these discs graded?

    What scan are you looking at friend? Front or back? I cant seem to catch the paperloss.

    Front of the disk- over to the far right. At first, I thought it was glue or a smudge of some type, but I actually think its paperloss. What do you think it is? Also, on the reverse, there appears to be a wrinkle in the middle of the disk.

    Its possible the mark you are seeing is either on the case or caused by the sleeve inside the case pressed against the card. If you look just above the disc, you can see a faint marking that appears to match with the mark you see on the disc. And hopefully that big wrinkle on the back is also on the sleeve and not the card.

    At best, here is how I would have graded the card:

    PSA 9 (ST) assuming no paper loss. Although I think there is paper loss.

    At worst:

    PSA 1-2 assuming paper loss.

    I've never seen one of the discs folded like that. In my opinion, it should be in the 5x7 holder and labeled as a panel.

    I agree it should definitely not be a PSA 10 given the guidelines. This card diminishes how truly difficult it is to find these in PSA 10 condition.

    I have one for sale right now that is every bit as good as this one:

    PSA 8 (ST)
