Tampered PSA case

GrandMasterB

I just saw this so it's almost over. The 1969 Bench PSA 10 selling w/ PWCC looks suspicious to me. There looks like a lot of frosting and the back of the card looks like a FIVE! Any other opinions on this card...switch, timed ectebay.com/itm/1969-Topps-Johnny-Bench-95-PSA-10-GEM-MINT-PWCC-/142141791736?hash=item21184f9df8:g:2HwAAOSwCGVX-CIa

Whether you're making an observation or accusation, the case looks like it got tackled in a game of touch football. The back does appear rather unattractive for the grade, however, it was graded several years ago, if I'm interpreting the serial number correctly. I doubt a tampered and/or resealed swap would get by PWCC for a card of such magnitude.

I don't think there is a problem with the case I have found over the years that 69 Topps edges and corners can get chipped
in PSA holders. That's why I will never spend another dime on 69's.

you have to be very careful w/ 71s as well.

I wasn't too concerned about the corner and edges, there is only minimal white showing. The large paper lose area in the upper left back corner just alarms me too much.

Case is fine but as stated looks like Alabama's Defense sacked it a few times. Also note all windows in edge of holder are clear.

GMB, that's not paper loss on the back, just missing ink. Not unusual, there are many 69s with this flaw, but I'd agree that it would seem inappropriate for the grade assigned.

Thanks, I've just never seen that much missing ink on such a high grade.

Wow I didn't even see the missing ink Is that common with that card?
