...and this is why I love opening old packs! Pack 1, not so eventful...typical off center commons with these 2 being the best in the pack:

    And then to pack 2...I was torn whether or not to rip this one, because clearly showing on the back was the Reggie Jackson card...however, I bought these 2 packs to open and I’m so glad I did!

    Wax stain on front of course but nice card!

    Thanks guys! Anyone think that card could get a straight 8 or am I looking at a 7? Opinions please

    Wow. Great pack !

    I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    My primitive skills tell me your LR centering is approx. 67/33, and your TB centering is approx. 65/35.

    So if we say for arguments sake that your card is 65/35 all around, then if all other aspects of the card are at least PSA 8 quality your centering wouldn't hold you back because PSA's grading standards state that a PSA 8 can have as poor as 70/30 centering on the front.

    I would say don't expect an 8, but at least the centering is within tolerance. Nice pull.

    Congrats on the pull (and the Evans looks terrific!).

    My initial thoughts were 9 (OC), or maybe a straight 7 or 7.5 no qualifiers. An 8 might be harder because it has a slight diamond cut/Tilt to it -- but if you get the right grader on the right day you never know...

    I would say it's a 7. But that's worth $125 or so.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    Love the Dewey right edge. Like a Schick razor!

    Agree 7 or 9 (OC).

    I liked how opc printed the traded date on the front

    Why are you telling me? lol

  • pjb103183pjb103183 Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭

    I’m thinking it’s a 7 as well, and I’d be happy with that...I’d much prefer the 7 over a 9(oc)

    Congrats. Great eye appeal no matter the grade.

    I wish I still had some of those cards that had a unique provenance of one.
