Old label pick up

I love the look of the original PSA label. It's just so old school looking. I've seen a few cards over the years with the old label and missed out on the bidding but finally was able to pick one up with ebay bucks. PS if anyone has any Yogi Berra or Thurman Munson with the old label PM me no matter the grade if you're looking to move them.

Here she is:

    Congrats on the card. I will say this and I don't mean to be negative, grading standards have sure changed since then. Doug

    Lol. I completely agree. Search eBay for old PSA label and check out what's out there. This is one of the better ones.

    In my experience, it's not that all cards in the original flips are misgraded, there was simply a lack of consistency that comes with having graded tens-of-millions of pieces of cardboard. There are some very suited grades in the old flips, even undergraded, but it's more like those early '90s KSA slabs, no fraud just a little hit and miss as to consistency.

    I think this 9 for example presents very highly:
