1966/67 Panini Campioni dello Sport Cassius Clay #377 ROOKIE - PSA - 1 Graded card

The card was initially sent to PSA, receiving an EX-MT 6 grade. However, it was returned with the card encapsulated visibly twisted, as documented in the first photograph.

I then proceeded to reship the same slab to PSA, requesting only the correct repositioning of the card inside the holder.

Surprisingly, PSA returned the card with the AUTHENTIC grade, without providing any reason or response to the clarifications requested.

I can confirm that this is exactly the same card, as demonstrated by several perfectly recognizable distinctive marks in both photographs: a small red dot on the boxer’s chin and some characteristic red printing defects along the left edge.

The change in grade, therefore, occurred following a request for a simple repositioning.
