Ryan RC experts.....please take a look

billwaltonsbeard

I recently picked up my first Ryan RC. I bought a PSA 6, expecting some minor corner damage. But in hand, 3 of the four corners are amazing...even under a loupe. Is it centering that knocked this down to a 6? Am I missing something else?

Opinions, please.

When I see (or get) a 6 on a card that looks much better, the first thing to look for is a wrinkle on the back. Always hard to tell from scans but maybe one bottom right on back?

(I thought for sure this thread was going to be a "Milton Bradley or not?" question)

I think the combination of centering along with the lower right corner. Nice pickup!

Good advice.....I'll check the back for wrinkles.

By the way, if I had a Milton Bradley question, I'd just ask this guy........

Card looks way sharp and I could see it as a PSA 8 but OC(psa8 oc) Making it technically a straight 6.
Centering keeps it in the case and it is graded correctly in my opinion.
Very nice card and you should be happy with the card as you have a high end 6 for sure.

Beautiful card. Is there a small wrinkle in the "68" in "1968" on the back?

I've always operated under the impression that wrinkles turn cars into 5s, not 6s.

I think the bottom right corner on the back shows enough wear to make it a 6.

8 O/C = 6 real nice card on a tough issue

They're treated differently depending which side they're on, 6 on back, 5 on front.

Centering imo. Plus with the brown/plaid border you can never tell what is going on. That is why for 68’s I go with centering and color and overall eye appeal first - same as with any year; however, with 68’s the corners come less into play than any other year.

I think the centering is what resulted in the grade of a PSA 6 or as a few have mentioned a hairline crease or indentation on the back would also yield a PSA 6 on an otherwise nice card.
