Loves me some shiny!
Fish eyes on left arm and that d@mn chipping on 2 sides of back will make this a psa 8. I still think it's a keeper.

A solid 8!
<< <i>Yeah those fish eyes piss me off lol. You guys are pretty much on par with what I was thinking I'm sure it is an eight and was praying for a 9 bump lol but I think its just too far away but oh so close. Believe it or not I bought this beauty on ebay last year at some point I have records of the price paid but none of the seller

Wasn't very dark I did it in the middle of the day in with the lights out but the room was fairly dark.

Very nice card!! Hi end 8 - definite chance for a 9 - and I agree the small fisheyes may make the difference.
The centering is good but within 9 or 8 standards - color/registration is sharp - on my screen four sharp corners - and the least sharp on my screen is the UL side.
Did you go over the surfaces carefully for any slight wrinkles that won't show easily on the scan?
And finding really super gradeable raw is really hard from what people have said. It doesn't hurt to hit all of the card shops in your state - I have a small shop near my house and he has some raw that kids don't ask about. I picked up a nice 56T Zimmer from him that I paid nm book and it came back an 8. Otherwise, ask on the registry forum, e.g., who people trust on ebay for raw. I, personally, don't have the patience to buy raw on ebay and have to send the stuff back.
Good luck!
