Shot at a 7?

orion9578

I'm going to be sending off the first part of my partial 60 set and wanted to get some of the stars graded first. I'm looking to get 7+ on all the ones I'm going to get graded but the only one Im not sure of is this one

any responses welcome and appriciated

It's a bit hard to tell because the scan is on a white background, but the right corners, especially the upper right, could be a bit too soft for a 7. I guess potential submissions are like commas: When in doubt, leave them out.

Hi Ryan
By the scan you are showing...and this is just a guess? PSA 6. Corners may not be strong enough for a 7.
Nice card tho and I could be playing it safe...could be a slider 7?
So, what the hell do I know?

Judging by some of my 1968 Topps I just got back in PSA 7 this would be a 6.

It looks like a 6 to me as well. That doesn't mean it's not worth grading though.

Scans can be a little deceiving sometimes...sometimes exaggerating corner wear...but I think it looks like a 6....albeit a nice 6 though.

Nice card but no chance whatsoever for a PSA 7. Could even slip to a 5.

Looking at the glass half empty, I say a 6 basis corners and a print spot or two? Best of luck.

in my opinion, i dont think it's a 7.. i just got back a few 1960 Topps, all of which I wanted 8's on.. they all came back 7's except a couple.. and they all had nicer corners than the ones on the right side of that Frank Robinson card..

Thanks for the feedback fellas, appriciated. This being my first big submission of older cards I was trying to put together the ones I think will get a 7+, he was the only one I wasnt sure on. Thanks again

Scans of cards are kind of hard to judge but from the scan it looks like it has corner wear. I sent a 1970 Topps Lem Barney that had 4 sharp corners and no visible wear. I thought I might receive the first PSA 10 for this card or at the very least a 9. The card was graded a 7. So if you send this in good luck.

here is a PSA 7 i own..

If you were not sure if the Robinson would qualify for a 7, you may want to post a couple others borderliners up here before you mail them off if you're looking only for 7's or better. The majority of guys on here are dead-on when it comes to recognizing the grades. That Robinson looks like a 5, perhaps 6, to me.

lol ya, I kinda figured that after pandrews posted up his 7, maybe I'll just shoot for 6's instead haha.

believe me Mike, I agree! i know everybody thinks their own cards are undergraded, but I REALLY think this one is undergraded! .. of course, thinking that doesnt do me any damn good..

goudeygold

I agree. Your looking at a 6, possibly even a 5.

I would think a PSA 6.
