    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.

    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.

    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....image

    << <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.
