If it comes back from one of the big 3 as altered, some will try again with the big 3. Some will choose to send it to PRO or CRAP or SHAT grading service and get a good enough grade to trick somebody into buying it.
If the card is a good one, most sellers spend the money to get it legitimately graded. If it's in a PRO holder, there's a reason why.

Post a link or tell us the e-bay item number. It all depends on what type of card we're talking about. I would avoid a high priced vintage card graded by any company other than the main 4. However, if it's a 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco or something like that, it could be perfectly legitimate. Go ahead and post the link to the card and you will get some honest opinions (as well as a few smart ass comments) on this board.

Don't give up on it that easily. If it's a modern low $$ card, it could be a good deal. We just need to see a scan of the card to give a good opinion.
I wouls say a PRO 8.5 would get a PSA 5, but you just never know. A link would really help, or a scan of the card???
Good Luck!

<< <i>it was a 62 mantle PRO 8.5 it already sold for $280 >>
A 62 Mantle in a Pro holder at 8.5? I think you are probably better off not winning that auction. It is likely an altered card. Pro is more prone to miss things like tampering than the big 4.
<< <i>it was a 62 mantle PRO 8.5 it already sold for $280 >>
I'd say passing was the right move because if the card could have been in a PSA holder it probably would have been (seller has mainly PSA cards).
As a general rule, Pro Grading should be avoided at all cost, as no reputable collector or dealer with any hobby knowledge at all would ever go to them to have their cards graded.

Congrats - You just saved yourself a lot of money on what would have likely been a worthless trimmed card.

Ug - I really hate to see one of my favorite cards mutilated like that.

sells PSA
sold it in a open auction (well as open as it could be) (not private)
280.00 for possible aggravation?

if from PRO you got lucky.
it is not the fashionable thing to bash PRO it is the logical thing.

That's a "pre-grade", where GAI would give a card a cursury look (usually at a show where they aren't set up for full grading), and give their opinion of what a card "might" grade if they really look at it

<< <i>Everybody knocks PRO as it is the fashionable thing to do just as it is with GAI but I have had numerous high $$ cards convert to equal PSA grades. Buy the card not the holder.
Well, there are always exceptions to every rule, but the number of cards successfully crossed-over from PRO to PSA might be around 1% of those submitted for such service.
Steve
There isn't a 99% chance that card is trimmed - it is 100%
