2019 • PSA 10 cert# 23300018 • BlowOut →
"I am posting this without knowing who the buyer was or even whether or not the colored in spot can be confirmed 100%. Nevertheless, the card bumped from a PSA 8.5 to a PSA 10 with no noticeable trimming that I can see. I find it hard to believe that one grader would see 8.5 and a year and a half later another grader would see a 10 without something changing on the card. The only way to 100% confirm that color was added is for the card to be in hand. The card is not in a set registry and there is no record of a future sale as a 10. Since the card was purchased from PWCC, the FBI will be able to see who purchased the card and also see if the same person consigned it to Heritage. Nothing nefarious yet - just inconsistent grading by PSA creating a $38,000 profit for someone (at a minimum).
1958 Topps Roberto Clemente #52 (white letters) - Population 1 of 2
