Real PSA label??

The label on Ebay item #400744925872 (1959 Topps Mays All-Star) looks way off to me. The bar code isn't to the left, T/B off-center, and printing looks off. Sorry for no link. Your thoughts.
TIA

Yes it is real, just an older one, think it is 3rd generation label.

It's an old flip but a good one. The bar code isn't always inline with the rest of the flip. I'll post an example in a few mins.

Would the card receive a NM-MT 8 grade today? I am not convinced that it would.

Agreed, more like a 6...

Buy the card not the holder. I also don't agree with those who avoid cards with older labels. You just need to view each card on its own merits.

Consider:

1) Older cards can get reholdered with a new label upon request
2) The 1990s and early 00s consisted of a much higher percentage of vintage unopened to be busted and cherry raw sets/inventory to be graded. Pickings are slimmer these days. So there are a lot of pack fresh beauties in old style holders.
