I'd say a 7. From what I can see of the bottom left corner and the border chip alomg the top edge of the reverse, an 8 seems out of reach. Great color & gloss!
Nice card! High end 6 or a 7. Appears as though the cards were stored upright vertically in a shoebox, so there won't be much surface wear or hardly any wear to the top corners, but over the years the bottom corners received some wear from rubbing against the cardboard shoebox.
Looking at the image of back of card...there appears to be more room between card and holder on bottom left than at the top....misscut or trimmed?

A rough cut like that can still get a PSA 9. >>
I agree, they can also get PSA 10's. I had a 67 Philly that was an SGC92 due to rough cuts and it got a PSA 10 to my surprised.
My opinion, that’s a nice looking card. Anyone who throws out a number or "trimmed" has very little to base their guess on. Especially from a photo and not a scan. That being said, the rough cut WILL NOT hurt the grade. The top corners look sharp and the bottom corners can not really be seen well. If the scratches are on the case, and not a wrinkle on the bottom corner, I think there is a chance the card could score well. The centering may be an issue, or the severity pf it may be just the angle of the pic.
Nice card, IMO from the limited images it looks nicer than a 6, and maybe even than a 7. A lot of variables are unknown(centering, wrinkles) so no one can really make an intelligent guess at this point.

straight 7 or 8 OC if not trimmed. the edges seem very rough but I have seen that before and does not mean it's trimmed or if the lower right is not a crease or a slight tear.

I'm guessing it's a wrinkle and would say a 4...

It was worth the $10.50 I paid for it!

Congratulations!
I think that's a great grade - I wasn't sure since I couldn't see the bottom corners - I thought the top ones were strong.
I don't know what the card is worth in 8 but I'm sure you got your 10 bucks worth!
thanx for sharing
