This one is pretty confusing

angelenocarddude

So, just got back a large order and everything is hunky dory, EXCEPT this one. I have been over this with a loupe and can't find a hidden wrinkle. Wondering:
1. do you see something I don't?
2. if it really doesn't make sense as a 3, what would you do besides re-subbing, which doesn't make a whole lot of economic sense. Any other options?

I'm guessing it's a mechanical error (wrong grade on flip). A surface wrinkle is an automatic 5 provided there isn't any other glaring problem.

Grader with bad handwriting wrote an 8 and person keying it in thought it was a 3?

I would say that is a logical explanation.

The centering is definitely 8 material and I can't see anything else to knock it down.

I would submit it for a review and then we can talk about the 5 grade bump for years to come. angeleno might attain greater fame than Pete Rose or Ty Cobb, at least here.

Haha.

I agree with the review. I would also put a note along with it explaining you believe it's a mechanical error. If they decide it was, you won't have to pay.

In general if a card this sharp had say paper loss would it grade a 3?

Just curious.

I don't think it can grade as high as 3 with paper loss, can't remember if it's an automatic 2 or 1.

What about a pin hole? I recall those killing the grade big too.

Pretty sure that's an automatic 1.

I got a three once on a 1975 topps MVP card
Ironically I think it was the 1970 MVP with bench
Card is perfect sans a slighted touch on a corner. An 8.5 all day.

Came back a three and I see if I tilt it a subtle bend right across the middle of card. The kind you see when you tilt in light.
Wasn't there when I sent it is all I can tell you -

Thanks to all. I will call cust service and find best way to have them deal with it.

Easy crack out card if you don't get the answer you are looking for.

ClockworkAngel

You shouldn't have to pay for a review. Call customer service. They should help with this. It's a clear mistake.

Cust service said to send back to them attn: her and they will review. she said the one thing that could make a 3 besides a wrinkle would be water mark, but i don't see that. been all over it with 10x loupe
