Pretty card. My first impression is maybe a 7, but more likely a strong 6. Three of the four corners (both tops and bottom right) show a bit too much wear for a 7.
The top corners and bottom right all have some wear- Not too bad, but enough in my opinion to knock it down to a 6 by PSA standards. If one more corner looked like the bottom left I would say a 7. However, with the color appeal and nice centering, it might bring 7-type money in a 6 slab. Assuming the scan is unedited, the color on that card is truly amazing. I overpayed (according to market value) for a 55 Koufax in a 5 slab for the same reasons, and two other guys were close on the final bid.
I'm sorry, guys, but that card looks NM to me. PSA 7 standards say - "There may be slight fraying on some corners." As long as one of the corners is not dinged or lightly "dog-eared", I say that card goes into a 7 holder all day long.

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. At $120 i hope i didn't overspend. I was guessing like the majority a really nice 6.
Steve brought up a good point as well. The top and bottom border does look a little off.
Thanks again.
