Consigned to PWCC and sold on 9/26/2018 as a PSA 10 for $3,938.00
Final price: $3,938.00
Value gain: $3,638.00
Although the seller of the PSA 8, takklotz, did not post a reverse image, this card was identified using the unique size and shape of the areas around the perforations, in addition to a single print spot on the right front border. Corndog had found a few of these high-grade, altered Wacky Packs cards linked to Will Jaimet before, which you can view here and here. With this Grave Train card, it is the same M.O. as the two uncovered by Corndog: Jaimet buys a PSA 8 example, sharpens a corner or two, and voila!, the altered card is now graded a PSA 10. The pink boxes show the sharpened corners, and there is also a detailed image composite below.
