I've got this one, it would be a PSA 10, but I submitted it to GAI because they were in town a couple weeks ago rather than waiting for a PSA modern special. PM if interested, I may be trading it Saturday at a show, I know someone is very interested and there aren't many of these that are this nice.
quitcrab... 81 F cards are pretty much worthless unless they are graded as 9.5/10's. Are you familiar with grading standards, have you submitted your own cards yet? If not, you may be disappointed, as many new submitters are at the beginning, to see cards that you thought would be 9.5/10's come back as 6's, 7's and 8's. A card that is 9.5/10 is a rarity, as the majority of cards pulled directly from a pack cannot attain that grade. The slightest touch on a corner under 10x magnification and the grade will not surpass a 9. The centering needs to be nearly perfect, the 81 F issue is difficult also because the backs are printed in grey around the borders, so the slightest chipping (perhaps from too rough of a factory cut) will also limit the grade to a 9 at maximum. Print defects, ink smudges, surface scuffs also downgrade a card. Getting a 9.5/10 is not that easy on cards issued in the 80's or earlier. Obviously, it's easier to get them on 80's cards than 70's and easier on 70's than 60's and so on just because the cards are newer and they are likely to have been preserved better and are more prevalant. Newly issued cards are mostly all 9's and 10's because the printing and cutting process has improved so much, as well as people storing the cards immediately.
