Am I seeing this 86 Fleer Wax Pack correctly

Does this pack have a huge split on the side? This is no longer a PSA 9 pack is it?

    Unfortunately that is not uncommon post-holdering with wax packs in which gum is loose in the pack. If resubmitted for holdering today, it would grade EX 5.

    That's why PSA stopped grading wax packs unless the gum was fused to the card. Tim, whatever happened to the new holders? Is PSA grading all packs once again?

    From what I can see based on recently graded packs, they have resumed grading wax packs but the holder is not different from the later one they were using prior to this without the tabs inside the holder (like the Jordan pack holder). Those newer holders were better at preventing tears from loose gum in transit, but not all the time.

    You'd think that the seller would disclose the fact that the pack has a tear.

    Every time I see this it makes me ill. I have many wax packs that are not super expensive, but are totally irreplaceable. If I got them back from PSA like this I would be livid. It will be a long long time before I ever submit any packs.

    "You'd think that the seller would disclose the fact that the pack has a tear"

    I'm not here to defend anyone BUT the picture is extremely clear as to what condition
    the pack is in.

    That is true but such a glaring flaw ought to be mentioned in the description, too, imho.

    I am candidly shocked at the bid with the tear clearly showing. Wow.

    That tear is unfortunate, I agree it should probably be stated in the description even though it is obvious in the picture.

    "Candidly shocked", huh? LOL! image

    OK, that's not dramatic at all. Sure glad this board isn't prone to hyperbole the way that other ones are! Thanks for a good laugh this afternoon!
