1975 Guys.... How will this grade??

I've subbed thousands of cards over the years but honestly, I've probably sent fewer than 10 cards in over the years from 1975 Topps or Topps mini. I'm curious to get your "expert" opinions on what the white print dot would do to the grade of this card. It's located at the top of the card near the left corner... for reference. It's pretty nice otherwise. Thanks!

    I'm certainly no expert on the set, but with the bigger white spot (as well as some tiny white dots in the R and E of REDS) and the tilt on the front, thinking a 7 may be in order? That is without seeing the back of course...

    5 or 6 is my guess - but they are also wildly inconsistent. I graded 8 75s that I just got back. Had a 6 on a Bench that I thought was my best card - but then got a 7 and an 8 on Brett rookies that I expected a 6 and a 7.

    5 years ago, a 7
    These days 5-6.

    The overall centering doesn't help the chances for a 7.

    A chance at a PSA 7, but I would say PSA 6.



    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    I was going to say the Bench looks undergraded, but upon more inspection, the two front lower corners have some touches, and there also seems to be some printing issues to the right and below the S in REDS, as well as a few black dots inside the white star...I guess it could be a 7 on a good day, but probably no higher than that?

    Also in the set I think the Brett has a shot at a 7...fisheye could hurt but the Yount... it has the fisheye and the weird blue print spots in the background. Maybe a 6 on that...heck, I don't know.

    Expect a PSA 6, and hope for a PSA 7.
