Question for the PSAers

Brewer Andy · Jan 12, 2010

What exactly is authenticated by PSA on this card? All the other PSA/DNA autos I have say "authentic auto" on the flip. Is this an older or newer flip?

The seller chose not to get a grade assigned to the card.

The "Authentic" means the card is indeed original.

The PSA/DNA Certified is for the autograph.

As for why yours says PSA/DNA at top is because it was submitted to PSA/DNA (blue flip)

The red flip PSA/DNA autos are submitted to PSA, which authenticates card and auto.

There was some confusion a few years back about the PSA/DNA slabs. I don't remember exactly, but someone could add/correct what I say here.

From what I remember, PSA starting slabbing the PSA/DNA autos with a red flip, but there was confusion because they were assigning a grade to the auto only. But because it was in a red slab, people thought that the grade referred to the condition of the card. They then decided to add the statement AUTO GRADE ONLY to the red flips, before changing to the blue flips we see now.

There is nothing stating that the grade of GEM MINT 10 refers to the autograph or the card.

Red flip stating AUTO GRADE ONLY: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0298671374

I am sure someone else could confirm/edit what I am saying.
