"If I ever decided to do a book, I've already got the title-The Bases Were Loaded and So Was I"-Jim Fregosi
That seems very strange unless he's investing in them and thinks they're undervalued. Do you think he could be cracking & resealing them and inserting lower graded cards? Can't tell from the pitcure whether the holder appears to be tampered with....
I hope you are not insinuating that Stump is doing that.
The above poster mentioned someone else.
So I am not sure what auction you are looking at.

The tilt is affecting the centering on the bottom such that it's really close to the minimum standard for 9:
[Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better]
The scan could be a bit larger - but this card doesn't appear to have many flaws that plague the 75T - like fisheyes and light ink e.g.
So, in the end - the assigned grade of 9 was "subjectively" determined - trumping the tilt and invoking the concept:
[The key point to remember is that the graders reserve the right, based on the strength or weakness of the eye-appeal, to make a judgment call on the grade of a particular card]
This is just my take.

I've actually seen him do this with other cards (buying multiple examples that is). I always thought he was doing it just to see which ones were best and then try to get a bump.
