O/T The Importance of High Grades

[bigtruck260]

I stopped collecting cards a few years ago, but I remember having literally 7-10 of each card from the 1986 Topps set. The black borders were hard to keep perfect, and I noticed that on many of mine - there was chipping 20 years later...but THIS is simply ridiculous:

Kids - take care of your stuff...

I can see at least 4 things wrong with that card that would keep it from being a 10.

1) Its in a PSA holder
2) PSA graded it
3) The slab says PSA on top
4) T/B looks to be about 30/70 to the naked eye.

oh and #5 is that 4SC submitted it - that's the "something's rotten in Denmark" sign right there.

Couple of registry guys killed each other on that puppy!
