*VERY RARE* 1962 Saim Moncalieri Thin Paper Pele PSA 3.5 NONE HIGHER Undergraded

Description: DESCRIPTION: These are crazy hard to find. I've personally only seen 2 copies in 20 years and I purchased them both. This is a 1962 Saim Moncalieri Thin Paper Pele graded PSA 3.5. The card has essentially the same front as the Plastic back, but is unmounted. It is just a thin paper card. Well PSA GRADERS STRIKE AGAIN! Part of my personal collection, I held onto this for years before deciding to get it graded. It has some minor edge chipping along top right corner, but otherwise in fantastic condition. I was 100% certain it was a 5 with hopes it could be a 6. PSA says it's a 3.5. It's wrong, and just outrageous we have NO RECOURSE with PSA other than to crack these things out and spend 2x-3x the money to keep getting them re-graded in hopes they get the grade that THEY SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE SENT IN!!! As of the day this was listed, the PSA Population Report shows 7 of these thin paper Pele's has been graded and I'm surprised that many have surfaced. Even at 3.5 THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADED COPY and it looks STUNNING! The 1962 Saim Moncalieri set was unlike any other set at the time in Italy. The manufacturer planned for 258 cards in the set, but only ended up printing 187. Not only were they some of the first to sell cards via vending machines, also, unique for the time, they printed each card in 3 different formats, mounted on a plastic back (most common), printed on cardboard (also quite common), and printed on thin paper (these are very hard to find). This means a complete set would be 187 x 3 = 561 cards. Try completing that set! I've been asked about shipping in the past so let me say this. I ship expensive cards with Registered Mail. This takes 10-14 days on average for delivery. It is by far the safest way to ship as the card is under lock and key the entire way to you, which is why it takes longer for delivery. Also, I do not make money on shippinig. I charge enough to make sure the the package is shipped and fully insured based on actual weight and value. If there are any extra shipping charges left over, I always refund them to the buyer. CONDITION: As graded SHIPPING: All items are shipped with a minimum of bubble envelope security Combined shipping for multiple items is available Specific/alternate shipping options are available upon request Insurance is included with all shipments Contact me if you have any questions
