1975 TOPPS BRETT RC PSA 9 (DSL) MINT!!!

mintyfresh · May 27, 2005 11:53AM

I GUESS THE CARD IS CENTERED IF YOU ONLY MEASURE THE TOP LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT MARGINS. WHY DOESN'T PSA JUST GO TO A "LS" QUALIFIER FOR THEIR CARDS (LARGE SUBMITTER).Text

softparade · May 27, 2005 12:01PM

annnnnd their off! ................ Brett on the inside with DSL on top , Rose closing on the outside with 4SC at the helm, EVERYBODY else bringing up the rear with HURT EGO riding each of them, and DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!!! .........

I want to have the saying under my name say 'buy the card not the holder'.

loth

bobbybakeriv · May 27, 2005 1:07PM

Good grief. Are we going to start this again? Give it a rest. Please.

"thats the ugliest damn brett ive ever seen...."

If that's the case, you ain't seen much Loth. Come on guys, let it rest. I was really happy that the DGF "nice card" thread finally died. Grading cards will always be SUBJECTIVE because humans are doing the grading. Not saying that it is ideal or even fair, but it is what it is.

The Brett doesn't really look too bad to me. There is a tilt, but it's still a nice card IMHO.

WinPitcher · May 27, 2005 1:08PM

My first reply was almost to the word what baker said. i then just changed it to nevermind.

put some energy into showing us some hi end cards for a change PLEASE!

Lothar52 · May 27, 2005 1:08PM

"If that's the case, you ain't seen much Loth."

ummm...go ahead and take a peak below...and then...
shut your mouth rookie

bobbybakeriv · May 27, 2005 1:33PM

Seriously, I was being facetious. I know that you know cards. Good grief, grow up. Rookie? Okay, you are so cool. Sometimes, I wonder how some of you guys make it through each day.

Boopotts · May 27, 2005 2:38PM

Why do threads like this one stir up such a hornet's nest? If the subject being discussed doesn't interest you then just drive on. It's on topic, it's sportscard related... what's the big deal?

Boo
I was wondering the same thing? Why, sometimes, the vitriolic rhetoric. Personally, I prefer to steer clear of heated discussions, like these, about grading.

My best guess - many people have substantial sums of cash tied up in something that could plummet to the earth with a resounding echo of valueless crap.

We're not solely arguing about grades, as such IMO. Nothing can stir the emotions like an argument over money.

Man you have not been here long have you?? Dont talk smack unless you want a reply....maybe your the one who should GROW UP and simply state your OWN opinions.

A better reply would have been: "Personally I like the Brett and realize that grading is subjective" DONE.

No personalization whatsoever....Just some tips CHIEF.

I've gotten worse 9s from PSA and I'm not a large submitter. Centering I think is borderline, but no worse than this 78 Carew.

Breaking news: PSA does not penalize cards for diamond cuts, per se, resulting in many unappealing 8's, 9's and even 10's. It doesn't matter if the card is on one of my quarterly 20-card invoices or one of DSL's many mega-invoices.

Axtell · May 28, 2005 2:22AM

<< <i>Why do threads like this one stir up such a hornet's nest? If the subject being discussed doesn't interest you then just drive on. It's on topic, it's sportscard related... what's the big deal? >>

Because of (a) the same topic being brought up over and over and (b) the perception that somehow large submitters receive preferential treatment gets tiresome to many of us.

It's funny that we never see someone posting 'look at how low of a grade DSL/4SC got! This 8 should definitely be a 9!'

For every one of these perceived overgrades I am sure there are 10 undergrades.

IJustLoveCards · May 28, 2005 2:48AM

I have a really good idea......."Don't bid on it"

bobbybakeriv · May 28, 2005 5:07AM

First off, I collect cards because I enjoy doing so, not as a way to boost my own ego. If it wasn't pathetic, it would be quite funny that your self-esteem is so closely tied in to your vaunted card-collecting savvy and tremendous board experience.

News flash: just because you have been a member of an internet forum longer than someone else doesn't give you the right to be condescending. We are all very proud of your board tenure (though I doubt anyone is any prouder than you are).

Good luck in the future.

Stone193 · May 28, 2005 5:38AM

Bobby
Talk about being "proud" - I put up two bat racks today that I picked up from Sports Display and they great!

This is an example of the rack. Very nice.

Happy Memorial Day!

bobbybakeriv · May 28, 2005 7:44AM

Extremely nice!!!!!!

ctsoxfan · May 28, 2005 7:54AM

Yawie is correct. I see the tilt in the card, but I have seen many even worse than that getting an unqualified 9.

wolfbear · May 28, 2005 9:49AM

mintyfresh - You started a thread on January 29 in which you stated :
"I'm in the process of cracking out all of my psa cards to crossover to SGC, GAI, and BGS."

If you're not collecting PSA graded cards anymore why bother to start all of the following threads this month ?

May 3 thread started by mintyfresh wondering if a PSA slabbed card was trimmed
May 5 thread started by mintyfresh whining about DSL
May 14 thread started by mintyfresh whining about DSL
May 27 thread started by mintyfresh whining about DSL

It's obvious that you care almost nothing about sports cards and are only here to bash PSA and stir up trouble.

In your January 29 thread you also stated : "Well thanks for the memories PSA but its time to move on."

So move on already ...

softparade · May 28, 2005 9:52AM

wolf, good detective work. I agree with your ending statement.

jrdolan · May 28, 2005 10:21AM

Hey, Stone .... nice rack!

Can you link to where you bought it?

Stone193 · May 28, 2005 11:39AM

Here ya go JR

I'm even using them for other items since their doors have glass which is supposed to add some UV protection.

phreakydancin · May 28, 2005 1:18PM

Minty, did you actually measure the centering before you started your whining? I counted pixels, and even at the worst point of centering, it comes out at 42/58, well within PSA 9 standards. I agree it ain't purty, but it's still a 9.

Fletch1750 · May 29, 2005 11:37PM

Can you say GAI 9.5??

bxb · May 30, 2005 12:13AM

Centering is OK, just a bit of a diamond cut, very common even on high grade PSA cards.

jrdolan · May 30, 2005 1:22AM

There's Mint and then there's Mint. If you find a '75 Brett with 9 corners, perfect centering, zero tilt, no fisheyes, those are the ones that fetch $750+ ... The more typical PSA 9 Brett has Mint corners but one or more of those faults, and sells for less than $600. Less than perfect centering and tilts are magnified by the '75 design, and of course fisheyes have no place to hide with those colored borders. PSA seems pretty forgiving of the faults on 1975, as long as the corners are 9-worthy. Buy the card, not the .......
