solid 9 on the McGwire...how about the Rocket?

ooops is that a crease on the Mac?

tennesseebanker · February 24, 2006 9:55AM

No, not a crease, I dont know what it is, or was, but its not on the card. Clemens coming up !

BTW, if you're planning on sending those in for grading, make sure you have PSA's new address:

Matt, I was surprised also, Yes they came from BBC Exchange, Steve said they were from a sealed case and never opened. They had a vending pattern to them when I opened the box. I would say 60 % of the set is centered as well as these. The next tier down centering is off a little. The Puckett, Hershiser, Mattingly and boggs centering are about 60/40, Nice cards still probably nines or high eights. There were about 10 -15 % of the set were centering is worse than 60 /40 . I am slowly learning that the record breaker and all star cards are hard to find centered well as well as the regular issue mike schmidt. Of course I scanned the best centered stars tonight and I think everything I scanned has a legitimate shot at a 10 ! If anyone wants to see anymore scans let me know. For some reason the cards werent in order , I dont know why ?

lawnmowerman · February 24, 2006 10:53AM

Tenn, thanks for the scans. I good to see such nice cards. Have fun.

Matt

Is it just me or does that McGwire have a funky cut at the bottom?? Looks crooked to me??

<< <i>Is it just me or does that McGwire have a funky cut at the bottom?? Looks crooked to me?? >>

You can notice this even more if you look at the top of the card...

Both the McGwire and, to a lesser extent the Clemens, are off just a bit L/R. Still, very nice cards, thanks for sharing the scans!

85 Topps factory set Bust !
