1987 Leaf Will Clark, PSA 10

What happened to "eye appeal"?

ToppsCo1lector · May 8, 2006 7:32AM

To much white showing on the border to make me buy it. For 10's(Gemmint) I expect perfection to the naked eye.

You needn't look any further than the seller.

Stingray · May 8, 2006 8:21AM

Not to defend them but does it not fit the PSA 10 standards?

A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.

You can also tell from the scan that some of the card's R border is obscured by the holder, making it appear more off-center than it really is.

Stingray · May 8, 2006 8:57AM

It is definetly off-center based on the baseballs on the boarders, but for a PSA 10 the eye appeal is not there.

It meets criteria.

Based on the scan, that same card would have been an 8 if I sent it in. Frankly, I wouldn't have wasted my money. It must look alot better in person

detroitfan2 · May 8, 2006 11:15AM

I think the fact that Will's face is OC (or at least his smile) is what detracts the most from the eye appeal . . .

pandrews · May 11, 2006 9:31AM

i wouldnt have submitted that card, based on what looks like less than perfect centering..

Southerncards · May 11, 2006 9:34AM

I would hope that a 10 would have at least decent enough centering that the naked eye wouldnt be able to tell the difference.

Southerncards · May 11, 2006 9:39AM

pandrews, I'll give you that one. Doesnt look all that great either although the design is odd and the scan is a little fuzzy. Can you resize it to be the same as the Clark? I'd be interested in seeing the difference if there is one.

didnt you just say something to someone about a wrong word? why did you edit out your "haqe" word? how did you type "haqe" instead of "have"? the q and v arent even close to each other on the keyboard..

you should arrest yourself..

Southerncards · May 11, 2006 9:43AM

I caught my typo and corrected it. Are you the word police? Do you scan my posts hoping to gig me on something?

geez

it's so easy.. and yes, when you make a smart ass comment about someones spelling, expect to have your own errors pointed out..

Southerncards · May 11, 2006 9:58AM

My comment was not a smart ass one, rather it was a humerous play on words. If you were able to pull off that trick before I corrected the typo, I'd give you kudos.

ToppsCo1lector · May 11, 2006 10:02AM

Pa-I think ya put up my alomar! Atleast I had one of those arrive in the past week. Centering was eh on it, but for .99 cents I couldn't really complain.

pandrews · May 11, 2006 10:10AM

<< If you were able to pull off that trick before I corrected the typo, I'd give you kudos. >>

oh, i did indeed quote your typo before you caught it.. see my 8:35 post..

Southerncards · May 11, 2006 10:27AM

You quoted it, but said nothing about it.

Obviously you don't understand the rules of humor.

Ouch.

ToppsCo1lector · May 11, 2006 1:05PM

^^Not really for 99 cents(Not bad, cheaper than the shipping on a submission). I know to purchase for the card and not the holder but besides being a little oc the card is perfect. Had it been closer to being centered it would've been graded Pristine imho.

TheThrill22 · May 11, 2006 10:31PM

Face it, a 10 should have no issues to the naked eye. This card is obviously not centered well. One needs to look only at the seller of the card and see why it got a grade of 10.

You're correct in theory but wrong in reality. Read PSA's definition for GEM MINT 10.

PSA 10????
