zef,

Nice card! If I sent it in, of course I'd be hoping for an 8 with the strong centering, nearly perfect borders and great focus. I've learned first-hand how tough these are graded, so I might expect a 7 with the upper-left and lower-right corners showing a little white (assuming the back passes muster naturally). As is said quite often here, it's hard to tell for sure by a scan.

Best of luck if you submit it in the July Special!! I'm getting a bunch of '62T commons ready to send in, too, including one of the Babe Ruth Specials I mentioned in an earlier post:

I've graded about 125 1962's in the last couple of years...if the back is clean I'd say an 8. With no terrible corners and one mint one I felt getting an 8 was 50/50. Your Espo has 2 nice corners - so maybe 75% likelihood. Can't go wrong grading this month at $5 though.

IMExperience they're a little more lenient on the corners with 62's and 55 Bowmans. I'd guess an 8, unless the grader was having a bad day.

Solid 7; on a really good day 8.

It arrived today...

I thought it could be an 8, but we shall see...

Might be a ding on that bottom right corner - if so it's a 6. No ding, it's a 7. All providing of course no hidden flaws such as wrinkles, etc.

I meant it arrived today in the "other company's holder". I plan on submitting in hopes of an 8.

if i send it in a 6,if (fill in the blank auction house/big dealer)send it in, its a 7,possibly an 8.

Scan shows something at the upper left and the lower right corners.
Also looks like the cutline on the bottom of the card.
I'd say 7 at best.
V-e-r-r-r-y nice card though - '62 PSA 7s are some of the nicest 7s around....

baseballpa21

Can't be higher then a PSA 7... WHat about the 62 Ruth cards as commons??

<< <i>is that a bump the the left of his head? >>


No its a fuzzy that was on the scanner.
Two corners are definitely dinged, or "slightly frayed" and the other 2 are very square.



<< <i>NM-MT 8: Near Mint-Mint. >>




<< <i>A PSA NM-MT 8 is a super high end card that appears Mint 9 at first glance. But upon closer inspection, the card can exhibit the following: A very slight wax stain on reverse, slightest fraying at one or two corners, a minor printing imperfection and/or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. >>


I think there is a chance of an 8 given the definition above. I am trying to gather the rest of my 60's that should be graded and then will send this in. I will post the results when I get them.
