Silvering looks way worse in scans than in person. PSA has been lenient on silvering for as long as Pokemon grading has been a thing. A large percentage of Fossil and Jungle cards come out of the pack with that silvering as it was a common manufacturing defect. If you don’t like silvering, don’t collect mint and gem mint Jungle and Fossil cards. You’re going to have a bad time.

Dang Ive got constant buyers giving me crap about 9s depending on cert numbers, we need more buyers like you I guess who will just buy the grade without looking

I don’t buy the grade without looking, trust me. I just understand what PSA has docked for historically and I’ve made decisions accordingly. I would never and have never bought a graded card on Ebay and complained to the buyer about its condition. The silvering issue is not new. One of the first gem mint graded cards I ever bought had silvering and this was over five years ago now. I understand the frustration if this is new to some people and I personally wouldn’t assign gem designations to cards with excessive silvering but it’s clear that PSA graders see it differently.

Don’t fall for the joker

Or hope for the spade

Always buy the card

Not only the given grade
