Grade my Gretzky, Gracias!

flcardtrader

I figure I would jump on the bandwagon and ask for input prior to sending in.

Here is my Gretzky RC before it gets sent away sometime in the next 30 days.

I will report back when it is sent back.

The bottom right front corner looks like it might be a bend/crease. It appears to go all the way through to the back. If that is the case it will negate the other 3 great looking corners. A very long shot at a 7 but could easily land a couple of grades lower depending on how harsh they factor in that corner. Good luck and a nice looking Gretzky regardless of the grade.

It'll be a 7.

with the corner issues and the O/C, I'm thinking 6.5 is your ceiling, which means a 6.,..

unfortunately, psa 5 at best.

maybe a 3 w the various pd fisheyes.

eta: will sell for much more than the technical grade though. exact card a lot of the vets seek out.

4.5 bottom corner , and centering. the half-point because it presents well.

Excellent detective work gentlemen - thanks for your input.

Agreed, the bottom right corner will doom the grade. I was hoping for a 5, however, those circles are pretty conclusive of a VgEx corner at best.

The idea it might come back a 3 adds a degree of complexity I had not considered - i.e. it could become a loss leader until grading fees come back in line (if they do!)

That was my first instinct as well.
