WOW, I guess they were hurting for consignee's. That's an ugly card.

Card is a 5.

Possibly even a 4 on a strict day.

No way it is a 6 with those corners.

But like anything, no one is 100% infallible.

That Koufax is from a mid-90's flip. That's why I'm weary of buying older flip cards. Look at all the highest graded sets from the whales on the registry...MANY are with mid 90's-early 2000's flips (particularly T206 and Cracker Jacks). Grading has most certainly gotten stricter since then. Actually, I noticed Don Spence had some of his Mantle's reslabbed with new flips. He must have realized the same thing - that it looks bad.

So what does that say then? Its ok in the past(old grading?), when I posted this it was in the past. and now and now and now. LOL
It seems there is nothing we can do but "buy the card not the holder"

Am I missing something here??
