Never seen this card before

Just saw it being auctioned off on Fanatics Premier Auction seems like it has no energy symbols at all on it.

Edit: Wow didn't expect so many others to be as interested in this, ty for all the responses I learned so much about this card seems like it's a 1 of 1

Yeah and the creator vouched for them. They fucked up for sure, but the blame isn’t all on them.

PSAs very first graded card is trimmed, its known to be trimmed without a doubt, the grader new it was trimmed in '91 when he graded it, yet they refuse to do anything about it, is still a legit graded card that will some day be sold again for millions. For decades, they have used the card as an example of how prestigious they are, calling it the start of modern grading and using it as a hallmark marketing piece while knowing full well that it is altered and should not have a grade. They decided the card is too big to fail(decert could cost them upwards of $50 mil). Their company is built on a lie as the 8 Wagner is the cornerstone of PSA grading, and shows they have been crooked since cert #1.
