    Looks nicer than 1 - what's wrong with it if no pinhole?

    You did well on the Mantle's. I just purchased a 52 Bowman Mays in a PSA 6 from a board member using the BING with a total cost of about $575. Great deal.

    Surface wrinkles..no paper loss...nicest 1 I have ever seen. Really think it is a 3.

    That is the nicest 1 you will see.

    Good luck with the sub....

    Man, Nice job with the buys.

    could be a filled in pinhole - under a blacklight, inexpensive to buy, you would see this if it is there, and see other possible doctoring as well.

    Your 1 53 Bowman looks way much better than my 3.

    Are you referring to the PSA 1 Mantle?

    Yes because a pinhole gets an automatic PSA 1 - could also possibly be water damage to the card.

    I have said for years, that if it's not "obvious" that PSA should list on the flip why a card received a 1, such as mentioning a pinhole...or a card received any grade that isn't obvious such as a mint looking card receiving a 5, and it should be mentioned on the flip that there is a wrinkle.

    Nice Mantles Kirk.

    If the 53 Bowman had a pinhole that was filled in the card would generally

    receive an Authentic grade NOT a numerical one.
