As soon as I saw it this morning, I knew it would go way out of my price range.

I say $7,500.00.

<< <i>Five years from now when a few more 9's have been graded the price for this card will seem even more laughable than it is now. Absurd. >>
Perhaps. That is why Steve, I believe, sold his 1971 Topps set a few years back. That being said - PSA has been grading 1971 Topps cards for a long time now, and Munson has had many, many submissions. Not even 12% of submissions have garnered a PSA 8 or above grade - so it seems like it is a certifiably tough card. That, given with the popularity of the player, the toughness of the overall issue, and the slew of Yankees collectors out there makes me believe that this will be a very high-priced card for a long-time. The closest thing I've seen to one of these PSA 9s, I believe, is a sheet-cut example that was a BVG 9.

But there's only been 425 submitted. Compare that to 1,600 Nolan Ryans submitted (with 18 9's). There's alot of 71's still hiding out there.
any idea where to get '71 vending boxes?
<< <i>What's with that cut along the top border?? Is it just sitting crooked in the holder?? It really nose dives as you travel towards the upper left corner. >>
that does look a bit odd or curious now that you mention it. the card doesnt look quite as tilted inside the holder on the bottom edge as it does along the top..
REDSPYDER is a notorious win at any cost bidder, and i'd say he'll end up on top for this one at 7000+.
<< <i>JUST MEASURE IT GUYS, IF YOU CANT SEE IT, TOP AND BOTTOM...........SLIGHT DIAMOND...........S/B AN 8...... >>
a diamond cut does not make a card an 8 , I have seen far worse diamond cuts in psa 9 holders , even 10 holders. if that card has a diamond cut, it is extremely minimal and centering at the worse point easily qualifys for a 9
Myself, I'd be concerned about this card.

Personally, the cut of the top edge bothers me enough where I wouldn't buy any card cut like that in a 9 NQ holder. Doesn't matter if it's Thurman Munson or Herman Munster.

baloney. PSA's not perfect. they screw up occassionally just like everyone else does, as evidenced by this particular card(in my opinion of course). that top edge just doesnt look right to me. but what do i know...
Think you're qualified to bash this card on the basis of a scan ?
Don't quit your day jobs, you pathetic, anonymous trolls.
Just keep practicing saying into a mirror : "You want fries with that ?"
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
Answer me honestly. . .if you had even an inkling that a card was trimmed, would you feel confident in buying it? I'm not saying it would, or even should stop you from buying it. . .just asking if you'd feel confident about buying it.
I have no axe to grind with PSA. While they are not my grading service of choice, they do tend to do a good job in identifying trimmed/altered cards, usually erring on the side of caution. And I certainly have no issues with the eBay seller.

The seller in question is rock solid, no pun intended. His brother is probably one of the most trusted and respected people in the hobby.
If I had not thought Redspyder would outbid me at nearly any cost I may have tried to add this one to my collection. All of this in spite of the nagging seed of doubt.
In a reply to the other question, I'd prefer a baked potato, but before you do that re-read the post.
Herman Munster is flat on top.
