collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
I look at the front and see a generous 9. That's a rather old flip and the card may have been part of a bulk order where the flaw on the reverse was simply overlooked. As part of a smaller order with added scrutiny and by the enforcement of rigid standards, that card would not leave the grading room w/o some kind of acknowledgement on the flip. I'd guess "miscut".
With all due respect, ALL cards should be looked at carefully, not just ones in smaller orders.

I agree with you, but it ain't my show, bro.
I can guarantee you this: If I owned a company responsible for the grading of 25,000,000 cards, I'd accept the fact that mistakes can be made and make the necessary effort to correct them. I'm certain that this is how PSA represents their products.
If they requested no Qualifiers, it shouldn't get one... but that being said, it shouldn't be a straight 9 either.
If no qualifiers was requested, the card should not have been holdered. The back must be centered 90-10 or better to not be considered miscut. This card was a goof-up by PSA. There are a few exceptions to the back centering. Those would be cards with design anamolies that render all cards with print out to the border. An example would be 1959 Bill Hall where all examples I've seen have the name plate on the reverse extend out to the edge of the card.
