If the 78 Rose was an ugly PSA 10, this is an ugly PSA 9.
1970 PSA 9 Bench

    Diamond cuts are within guidelines, I don't think it looks THAT bad. Even at that, bidding starts at 75% of SMR so it will sell at a discount. Thus the diamond cut 9 will sell for under SMR.

    Remember the 52 topps mantle diamond cut PSA 8 sold at mastronet last month for over 50,000. Some people don't mind the diamond cut I guess.

    I think that tilt is technically within PSA 9 guidelines, but I wouldn't buy it if I was shopping for a 9. Not for the kind of money being asked, anyway.

    It's not the prettiest card I have seen but I agree with JR...it's within the guidelines IMO.

    On the concept of diamond cut - the Bench IMO, is a card with a "Tilt" - as JR has said...a tilted card still has the dimensions of a rectangle with all corners at right angles.

    A diamond cut card is a slight parallelogram - where none of the corners are at right angles.

    I was bringing this up not to nitpick GG whom I like to talk with - but rather to clarify this - I believe many people mislabel tilted cards as diamond cut.

    Am I correct? Or do I need to be spanked? image
