To Crack or Not to Crack?

That is the question. Subs are 9.5 9.5 9.5 8 I would like to see it in a psa slab. I see why it got an 8 on the surface. There is a few small print dots in the blue border line a litttle above his elbow. It does not look trimmed to me but who am I?

Opinions?Thanks

  • Matt: what you see above his head is a scratch on the holder. There are two slight ink bubbles on the right in the blue in line with his elbow. There is one ink bubble on the back in line with 1974. I dont know how to put a scan on the boards, however I could try to email them to you. If you win it and are not satisfied with it return it to me and I will refund the total that you paid. Also, remind me to charge you actual postage of $1.01. Gary (detroitredwings19fan)

    All I know is I get nervous opening any post by Matt with the word "Crack" in the title not once, but twice. I was expecting a scan of a plumber's backside or something similar.

    Something is weird or fishy here. BVG is dedicated to cards older than '75 (or something in that range). I know the graders are split into two separate groups. This card should have been graded by BGS graders and slabbed as such.

    BVG grades everything up to and including 1980.

    What's the worst that can happen? It comes back an 8? If that's indeed the result then keep resubmitting it. Just by looking it over in the case you should have a pretty good idea if it's mint 9 material or not.
