That black mark on the front, bottom left is in the card, looks like a soft bottom left corner. Must be some surface issues too, I have to get a closer look at it. Before I bought it I thought it had a tear in the left edge center.. once I got it in hand that issue was not there…
Had to laugh a bit when I saw this closing the other night and the price was up there. Oh the stuff we will do for the collection!
Nice add to the run and congrats, all kidding aside, Nic!
I am doing the same type of run for a 1977 Topps card (half grades included but no "auth"), and I am just 6 cards short. Your run of UD Griffeys was partial inspiration for me to start my run attempt, so I am rooting for you to finish it up (the qualifier grades might be pushing it, though). And, yes, half grades are a bitch.

Good luck!
This one actually ended during the day last week. But yes there was one that ended a few nights ago. It went for double of this one. And other recent comps were double that ($400 range). Yeah, we are some crazy collectors sometimes!
I am not really going for the qualifiers, but grab them if the price is right.

For the 1, the scan is a bit deceptive, it has 2 bent corners, hologram is scuffed, another bad scuff on the back. One corner is touched pretty good. A blue PD in the grass and the pinhole.
But yes, beyond that card, there must be surface issues, etc., nothing too glaring.
Nice work! I think we sort of discussed this at least a couple years back when I posted my 62 Topps Uecker rookie grade run. You were still either contemplating or had just started.
Sure doesn't matter what the card you do this with, it's difficult to get a complete grade run.
I finally found my PSA 1.5 for my Uecker run. There was an 8.5 that sold on Ebay recently but the price went too high...over $4k, I think. I haven't seen a 9 in years. So for myself, my run will stop at 1-8 plus I have an auto and blank back. But I had never thought of just an authentic but I don't think I've seen one. I'll have to keep an eye out.
You have really taken your to another level, lol! Congrats!

I was the winning bidder on the '62 Uecker RC PSA-8.5. I have consigned it to REA...and the card will be in their Summer Auction 2024.

An 8.5 for over $4k, wow! Nothing nearly that expensive here. The 10 is $2k now and then $400 to $500 for a few of the lower grades. I luckily found some deals along the way and got in early. Sure helped!!
Good luck on your continued pursuit! I have to get a Uecker rookie at some point! Being a Brewers fan and all….
I hate you! But that's only because I'm jealous, lol.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when the 8.5 hit Ebay. I was in at the $2-3k range but then it just kept going and going. I don't think the price was bad, I just didn't know where it would end.
I know Levi at 707 had an 8.5. He showed it too me when I bought my 7.5 from him but he would not sell the 8.5. His reasoning...."where will I ever find another?".
This is so cool! I'm doing the same thing with Roger Staubach's rookie. I had originally planned on stopping at PSA 9 , a PSA 9 is way out of my price range, but now that I'm down to only needing 1 card (7.5), I'm contemplating adding the 8.5 as well.

Nice! Did you do all the half grades other than the ones mentioned?

I did all the half grades and an authentic. The Staubach card is also very commonly miscut so i did one of those because it was cheap and fun.
Because I'm a huge Staubach fan I've also added autographed versions with different inscriptions.

A PSA-9 Uecker RC has sold for 5-figures...$18,000+!
Here is my 8.5:

Well...an 8.5 will be available this Summer in REA. Bid early...and bid often!
That 62 Ueck is very nice. But it’s missing an auto.

That's too nice for an auto.
Autos on his rookie cards are pretty tough. There is one on Ebay now but over $3k. The auto I have is pen and I don't like it that much.
