Does this centering rate a 10 to you?

I actually have one of these cards, but held off sending it in because the centering wasn't perfect, but now I see this:

As a side note, I would have thought PSA had a better holder solution than these cards. Not only does it look like crap, I'm concerned about corner damage over time.

No,,,it doesn't.

And in that holder it won't be a 10 for long. Ship it somewhere and you'll see.

I have a few of those too. I think they came out of cracker jack?

No, believe it or not, the 1991 Topps Cracker Jack is actually a little LARGER than the Topps Micro. The Cracker Jacker version is exactly 1/4 the size, the Micro is roughly 1/5. The CJ version has a completely different back and is numbered #22 out of 36. The backs of the Micros are an exact copy of the regular Topps issue including the same number (#530), which may appear novel at first, but quickly becomes VERY annoying as there's no way to read all information without a magnifying glass. Little wonder this concept didn't go any where.

Anyway, I've always been a fan of the '91 Topps Clemens #530 card and I've been trying to track down all the variations of it. Thus far, I've only been able find these, but not sure if there are any others.

I know they come in factory sets, which you can usually pick up for $3-$5

No, that looks awful. Not to mention it looks a bit diamond cut besides. Hmm...

Hard to believe someone got those graded. I can understand PSA not making holder for them.

At least it has "4 Sharp Corners", if you know what I mean!

Looks like that could've been part of a large submission and got a little 'turn your head and grade' option on it.

If you were going to give a dealer preferential treatment it probably wouldn't be on a 1991 Topps micro card.
