This has to be the best PSA 5 I have ever seen. What do you guys think?

    WOW! The only thing I can think of is maybe it has a slight crease that you can't see in the scan. *shrug*

    Great looking card!

    Perhaps the bottom right corner has a hit - tough to tell with scan.

    It is a very nice looking card. There may be a surface wrinkle that does not show.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Mark it down - it's got a surface wrinkle.

    I echo the surface wrinkle sentiments. Cards like that with minor surface wrinkles can be bargains.

    BEST bargains psa has ever afforded us as collectors...

    take those (for the price) over psa 8 (at that price) 100% of the time.

    good thread.

    I've shown it before (and it's a bad scan) but I like this one too -

    i would agree on the bargains. i think psa is a little harsh with surface wrinkles to drop them to a 5. it sucks when you send them in raw and they come back but its great when you find them for cheap.

    I think it may not have a wrinkle and the T/B centering combined with the bottom R corner softness made that a 5.

    No wrinkles on this killer. 3 soft corners.

    I have always complained about surface wrinkles, esp. on back, dropping a card to 5 when cards that are grossly off-centered can get 8. I think if PSA were to do it over again from the beginning, they wouldn't be so harsh on surface wrinkles but as of now, they have to be consistent (relatively speaking).

    Anyone else notice the T/B centering? at best it looks 80/20

    The sides are sweet, and since the top is of a solid color it makes the card appear nicer (centering) wize then it is. It was this centering I believe that made that card a 5. That, and the bottom R corner.

    Steve....you're 100% correct. The centering, T/B is below PSA 6 standards (80-20). It appears to be roughly 87/13.
