Dawson Rookie - PSA 10 - If only ...

... I had this kind of coin. The Hawk is one of my favs.

IMO the registry is horrible.

dont worry writer one day you'll have the money and that card will be there still from keppler. every 10 cent they trot out a bunch of nice cards that are not priced to sell.

in the meantime you'll find one for $1000 and be much happier.

That doesn't look all that much better than my PSA 8. Heck of a lot cheaper, too!

Does every Dawson have a lousy right edge cut?

That is an absolutely horrible Andre Dawson RC. Absolutely insulting that a card of that magnitude that is THAT poorly registered and poorly focused combined with the below average color-strike would garner that grade. This is exactly why I retired my set, but continue to collect it. PSA just does a very poor job with this particular issue. They may do a poor job elsewhere, but I am only able to speak to 1977. That card is a piece of garbage that belongs in a 9 (OF) or NM 7 holder. Absurd grade.

I think the flip was mislabeled - it's supposed to the read:

1977 Topps
3-D Rookie Outfielders

Phil - surely you know that the numerical system PSA uses is primarily based upon the corners and centering. Do you think the grader even knows who Andre Dawson is, or cares if the color is off?
