To crack or not crack that is the question

Any opinions on the following?

Very nicely centered 7?

Fabfrank

7 ???

Dallas88

I'll guess - 6

If 6 or 7, I would crack and submit if you're looking to sell.

If your personal collection, leave it as is.

If it's a 7 crack and try for an 8.... Might be tough to get.

That card will eventually end up in a 8 holder if you submit it enough times.

straight 8 already...guess it looks better in person, was thinking a possible 9

rw2win

Too much white on the corners for a 9.

Really nice. If it's already an 8, I'd leave it alone. I thought it was a 7 too.

8 is fair. The bottom left might be the only thing keeping the card from mint.

here's a little better scan of the card showing the corners at a higher resolution....

8 is pretty solid for a 79-80 Topps hockey, so I would say leave it alone. If you want a 9 set, you are probably going to have to just buy one.

Fabfrank

That card got an 8. With the weak lower left corner and the touch of white on the upper left corner and lower right corner, it'll never grade a 9. Upon closer inspection of the card (and a grumpy grader) it would have gotten a 7, but it has good centering and great eye appeal making it 8 worthy.

i dont think it is centered well enought op to bottom to be anything other then an 8

WinPitcher

I agree with the last 2 poster's. The card is in an 8 holder and there it should remain. to crack and resubmit it could lead to it getting a lower grade.

nice card .
